My shadow

Australia, 2003

Film
A still image from My shadow

Flat tyres, mystery calls. Cathy is being watched. Someone is following her, close as a shadow. Cathy tells her best friend. Heath already knows. The phone rings through the night. Is anyone listening?
A beautifully hand-drawn 2D animated narrative which captures the sense of frustration and fear when your life appears threatened by an unknown stalker and no-one out there is listening to your cries for help.
