STUFFED
Director: Theo Rhys
Screenwriter: Theo Rhys and Joss Holden-Rea
Logline: In an inventive feature debut, director and co-writer Theo Rhys simultaneously serves up a dark comedy, an offbeat romance, and a twisted musical that dances between the macabre and the heartfelt. At its centre are Araminta, an isolated mortician-cum-taxidermist with a dream, and Bernie, a lonely factory worker whose extraordinary request draws these two outsiders together.

Key Quote: “I love musicals so I’d always wanted to do a musical,” said Comer. “I never imagine it would come it this shape or size like what a gift but it was interesting cause I spent years and years saying I wanted to do a musical and I had done nothing to prepare for myself for being ready to do one.”
