Still is a 5min dark zombie comedy that tells the story of 'Statue', a living statue entertainer caught up in the middle of a zombie outbreak. He finds himself frozen in fear whilst everyone around him flees or dies at the hands of the attacking zombie horde. Left alone by the unknowing zombies in an large open square surrounded on all sides he has to rely on his amazing ability to stand very still to try work out a way to survive his ordeal.

Tight visual storytelling with zero dialogue needed.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Filmed in Birmingham's Victoria Square with genuine passersby occasionally wandering into frame.
The short cleverly weaponizes a classic horror trope — the 'don't move' rule from Jurassic Park and Dead Silence — but makes the protagonist's livelihood depend on it.
