Night Shift visualises the common phrase “curiosity killed the cat”, but to an extreme level: tapping into our impossible to ignore desires to discover. To find out. To understand. Even if sometimes, we know we’re not supposed to. The film follows naive night security guard, Adam, who is made uncontrollably curious by senior night guard, Roger, about the contents of the mysterious 15th floor to the very building he must patrol alone in for the his twilight hours. Exploring themes of temptation, trepidation, and isolation, Night Shift was the first short I directed at the University of Gloucestershire, and is since being re-cut for its festival run.
