Synopsis

Orman is having a fruitless conversation on his mobile phone. He is running back to his office but getting nowhere. If he could just get through to Mr Langley everything will be resolved but someone (or something) is intercepting his calls.
 
The film uses an innovative blend of atmospheric stop-frame animation, live action performance and digital effects to create a dark world of uncertain reality.

A daydream to remind me of the joy of the New York skyline. A kind note: Manhattan 4.33pm is made with three photographic stills which I brought to life and is part of my "Daydreams" ongoing series of short films. Please feel free to view the rest too. Many thanks.
