HUM
WRITTEN BY IVAN CUSH & DIRECTED BY MO O'CONNELL
Following a heated discussion with his partner, Tim seeks refuge in an empty gallery space. He prays for silence and solitude. However, his prayers are ignored, as gallery regular Cecil takes him on an abstract journey of interaction and appreciation.

*I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH IN THE SEAN SCULLY SPACE ITSELF AND DISCOVERED THE SHUTTERS HAD A 'HUM' SOUND AS THEY SLOWLY OPENED AND SHUT. I ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THEY THREW LIGHT ONTO THE WALLS AND THAT THAT LIGHT LOOKED LIKE A SEAN SCULLY PAINTING AS THE SHUTTER BARS THREW STRIPES OF SHADOWS AGAINST THE GALLERY WALLS.
SO, I CHOSE TO BEGIN THE FILM IN DARKNESS WITH THE HUMMING SOUND FROM THE CEILING SHUTTERS SLOWLY OPENING AND THEN REVELAING LIGHT IN THE GALLERY UNTIL EVENTUALLY WE SEE THE STRIPES OF LIGHT THROWN AGAINST THE GALLERY WALLS.*
