Storyline
As the financial headquarters of London slowly awakens to another day of business as usual, not so far away a nervous junior banker experiences nightmarish visions of rioters and looting across the city, before leaving his flat to make his first journey to work at a major investment bank. Yet, in the surreal calm of the financial district, unbeknown to him the greatest danger he faces is not from the rioters, but the corruption of his individuality in the corporate bubble. Here, as differences between him and the perceived rioters blur, he faces a choice to resist or succumb to the very same desires that the looters share: adrenaline, greed, and power at the expense of others. Written by Elcid Asaei

From the opening skyscraper shots of London, you can get a sense that PIRANHA is a short film worthy of your attention.
With the bold use of shooting black and white, director Elcid Asaei directs confidently with a visual flare that separates this film from most others that you'll find on the festival circuit.
The film builds an eerie sense of dread throughout it's short running time, with our main character being chased through the deserted city streets.
With an industrial sound design and most of the film being completely silent, one is reminded of Lynch's Eraserhead. Strong praise indeed, but praise that is worthy.
Looking forward to what this young filmmaker has to offer in the future.
