Short Film: Dust


"Dust" by Written and directed by Ben Ockrent & Jake Russell
Starring Alan Rickman, Jodie Whittaker & Lola Albert

I did a double take when I saw Alan Rickman's name on this short film. What's a big name Hollywood actor doing in a short film floating around the web? It turns out, he's acting the hell out of a role as a creepy stalker.

In Dust, Rickman plays a man who follows a young girl and her mother back to their house. What happens next puts a whole new twist on an old bedtime tale that you won't see coming. Rickman is his usual brilliant self, and the whole film exudes a silent tension that really sells the story without crossing the line into anything too intense for younger viewers.
