Jigsaw Productions were delighted that their short film the man on the side of the road was selected in official line up for the 2008 Palm Springs International Short Film Festival. Suzanne and Dale represented the film at the festival where it was voted an AUDIENCE FAVORITE. It was a very productive time with a lot of new contacts made, with new and existing projects discussed and developed. The trip to Palm Springs was supported by Scottish Screen Markets and Festivals Fund - thanks guys This disturbing and unpredictable short film challenges the perception of reality in a direct and often unsettling way. Its erratic and non-sequential chronology reinforces the emotional psychology of Russ, and his inability to focus when under intense interrogation. The extreme expansiveness and stillness of the deserted country road magnifies the claustrophobia of the small, fluorescent-lit interrogation room while the ever-present and fore-boding musical score builds in tempo throughout, at times startling us and at other times luring us into a false sense of security, building to a dramatic and unforgettable climax.

On one side of the harbour is, Debbie, alone is her single womanís one room castle while on the other, Nina, is feeling isolated in her expansive modern style apartment. Between them on the waterfront is a group of four teenage men, young, drunk and invincible.
This dramatic short film builds to an unforgettable and shocking conclusion that will leave both groups unequivocally changed.
