WHAT CASSANDRA SAW

All is not well at the department of shadows, slip ups have been occuring, mistakes are going unchecked. Cassandra Demeanor, a child who likes to bake and knit, a child who does not play with other children does not notice anything unusual. And yet, when she wakes in the night, and tip toes downstairs, didn't her shadow have a tail? Weren't those ears pointed upon the wall?
The department of shadows is in chaos, an emergency meeting is held in the space between the wall and the kitchen cabinet, and Cassandra puts her eye to a peep hole at just the wrong moment . . .

'What Cassandra Saw' is being shown in cinemas now as part of the Virgin Media Short Film Festival. It was made by Gareth Lilley and Karen Penman. They unite Tim Burton influences with some of the Might Boosh's more bizare characters (anyone remember Charlie the chewing gum gangster?) and the effect is uncanny, spine tingling in the most physical sense of the word, dark and dastardly. Jilting stop frame animation, mice and knitting needles, a lonely little girl and a dark secret, I want more!
