It is a second year University film for Deakin University.

The film will revolve around a home intrusion which leads to a surgeon having to perform surgery on a bullet-wounded, violent intruder in the kitchen of his own home. The surgeon needs to finish the surgery before his family gets home, to keep them safe, but not all goes according to plan.

The short will be filmed entirely on RED Epics, which are cinema-grade cameras (used in such films as: The Hobbit, The Social Network, Prometheus, The Amazing Spider-Man, and many more).

As we are students we would prefer to hire on an unpaid basis. However, if we come to some sort of agreement, we may be able to supply a small payment. All expenses will be taken care of and transportation will be made available, if need be.

Location: Victoria, Australia

Payment details: Negotiable
