Whistle depicts the dreary off-hours of an ultra-technological hit-man who becomes 'involved' in the life of one of his victims. The hit-man's wife is not only fully cognizant of her husband's day job but she is also the cold-blooded contact with his bosses when the conscience crisis sets in!

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Duncan Jones' graduation film from London Film School, shot for under £5,000 and made before his father David Bowie's death in 2016.
The sterile, fluorescent aesthetic directly influenced Moon (2009)—Jones essentially spent seven years expanding this 29-minute mood into a feature.
