What is the story behind your film?
I've always been drawn to the eeriness of underground car parks. Their labyrinthine quality playing havoc with my sense of direction, as I've helplessly wondered through them trying to remember where I parked my damn car. A perfect place for a Minotaur to take refuge from the modern world.

This coupled with my fascination towards the often unusual characters that inhabit seemingly mundane worlds and occupations, led to the idea for this short film.
What did you hope to achieve with it?
To tell a story that would surprise and entertain and make the viewer perceive the seemingly mundane in a new light.

Any anecdotes / trivia from the shoot you want to share?
As the shoot progressed the chickens hanging off the hooks on Mark Benton's body armour began to rot and tear off the hooks with every step, not to mention the stink. Mark was a top sport throughout though.
What do you like about the one-minute format?
Forcing the filmmaker to distill all the elements in his/her creative arsenal without compromising the effectiveness of the story.
