Shots Awards
It’s A Messy Business
Written and directed by Laurie, this comedic, horror-inflected narrative short tackles the age old question creatives face; ‘How do you get your ideas?’
Created to build anticipation around the upcoming Shots Awards ‘The Americas’, the film satirizes the process around finding that one, award-winning gem of an idea that the rest of the industry so desperately wishes they had thought of themselves.
Working with a small team Laurie designed and crafted a deeply rich and tactile world, entirely in 3D.
