A troubled relationship between a cat and a mouse set in the distant future.
David O’Reilly
David O’Reilly is an Irish-born Berlin-based filmmaker. After working with some of London’s most prestigious production studios in his teens on such films as “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”, he broke away in order to pursue filmmaking independently. He has made a number of short films including “Wofl 2106” and “RGB XYZ”. His work is regarded as amongst the most groundbreaking in contemporary 3D animation and has met worldwide critical acclaim.
“Please Say Something” won, among other awards, the Golden Bear for Best Short Film at the 59th Berlin International Film Festival.
This film was ultimately the result of several failed experiments at using 3D animation to convey serious drama. I wanted to make a film which was entirely contained in its own world without referencing older animation techniques or live action… a pure expression of the tools we use.
I wanted to prove you could produce emotion and authenticity with something blatantly artificial and unrealistic. You can even do it without facial expressions. I also just wanted to tell a good story.
