Zone 38 @ Virtual Theater

The Plot

A virus has swept the country, infected areas have been quarantined and large numbers hospitalised. Father Michaels congregation has dwindled but he still goes through the motions of his weekly sermons, he tries to remain a bastion of hope for his community whilst fighting off his temptation to alcohol, this is tested when a neighbour suspiciously offers him a drink which alters his mindset and focus. On his journey to visit his quarantined wife he has an unexpected early encounter which is not the reunion he had hoped for.

Director Statement:

The film was created as part of my Major project at University, for this task a practice based component was adopted to help understand the concept of the long take, this was a short Thriller/Horror film about a viral pandemic that has swept the country, the local priest conducts his weekly service to an empty church before setting off to see his wife who is in quarantine. - Saul Murphy
