Tangled Ever After
2012
A static camera observes a room as it slowly fills with thirty-six characters from different stages of life, looping further through an absurd dance of social disconnection as each character moves in.

I did feel a bit sorry for the lad with the football. He must have climbed in and out of the window fifty-odd times in this curious short feature that has something of the "Twelve Days of Christmas" to it. Not that it's in any way, seasonal. It is that each character who takes part in the scene repeats their role and steadily the number of participants increases. Each always enters, does the same thing, leaves, falls over, dresses - there's even some sex - all seen by one locked-off camera - before it all abruptly reverses and an old lady finds herself bemusedly in possession of a football! Accompanied by a tango style theme, this is repetitive but quirkily and engagingly so.
