Short of the Week - William Walsh’s Remnants - 100 Hour Film Race

This week, we’ve picked William Walsh’s Remnants as our celebrated short. The winner of the 2015 100 Hour Film Race, Remnants is a simple, yet effective short film addressing issues of mental health and male suicide, through which are subtly weaved that year’s specific requirements. The theme was "mistaken identity", the prop, a mask and the action, drinking out of a straw. Walsh and his top cast manage to create engaging characters that we found ourselves caring about, no mean feat for a 5-minute film.

Walsh is reportedly now in negotiation with mental health charity Calm to potentially use Remnants as one of their campaign films.
