ABOUT

The idea for the film came about as a result of a chance purchase of an old typewriter and a fascination for the intricacies and industrial qualities of these beautifully crafted machines. Combined with the very tactile nature of the old writing process, we wanted the film to capture a physicality and sense of significance that is somewhat lost in the modern age of communication.

Set in the 1930s and shot with a nod to film noir, our film follows a man through the process of writing a document on an old typewriter. Capturing the ebbs and flows of the writing process and the almost ritualistic habits surrounding the production of the document, the film is intentionally open ended as to the identity of our writer and his motives.
