The Six Dollar Fifty Man
by Mark Albiston, Louis Sutherland
When the real-world and schoolyard bulliesprove too frightening, eight-year-old underdogAndy creates an imaginary superhero universefor himself. But when his only friend, Mary,faces trouble, he has to step out of his protectivebubble to rescue her – and perhaps even moreimportantly, himself.
Based almost solely on extreme close-upswith images rapidly tearing between restlessmovements and pondering stillness, this visuallyingenious short marks the third collaborationbetween director duo Albiston and Sutherland.
