Knock Out - Straight 8
Knock Out - Straight 8
A Straight 8 Film that Will directed in collaboration with the production company Knock Knock Productions.
Straight 8 is a global filmmaking challenge that requires participants to create a short film using a single cartridge of Super 8 film, without any editing, retakes, grading, or post-production
The story is about a man who spirals into chaos after he falls for his opponent before the finals of the Surbiton Croquet Club Finals. Will wanted to lean into the absurd and juxtapose enormous tension against a very mellow backdrop. Stylistically he pushed for popping colours and a 1980s style with the costume, production design and the natural lighting.
