synopsis
The once celebrated graphic designer Paul Andrews has fallen from grace. Battling against the demands of vacuous clients, deprived of his voice, he descends into an obsessive and distorted search for creative expression.

In 2005, Jarrod Factor took leave from VCA to complete his Bachelor of Creative Arts at Melbourne University. During this time he created Virtual Spaces, a multimedia installation utilising video, surround sound and automated lighting. Jarrod was a guest at the Fresh Film Festival in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic for the screening of his films Holding On, and A Short Portrait of Obsession. Holding On was also screened at the Trenton Film Festival and Method Fest in the USA, and St Kilda Film Festival in Melbourne.During the year Jarrod also worked on two VCA Graduating productions, designing the opening title sequence for Sasha Whitehouse's The City Eats Its Weak, and the Sound Design for Lily Coates' The Cat And Claudia. Earlier this year Jarrod was assistant editor on Invisible, which recently came second place at In Realm of the Senses. It is currently screening at the Comedy Festival Short Film Festival. Just for a laugh, Jarrod created Cinema Verite - a 'micro movie' (a short film shot on a mobile phone) which screened at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival. In 2004 A Short Portrait of Zora Zakowski screened at the St Kilda Film Festival, Over The Fence Comedy Film Festival, and was a finalist in the Student Film & Video Competition. Inversion has screened at Revolver & Gertrudes as part of In The Realm of the Senses, as well as at Fresh Film Festival in Karlovy Vary. Before studying at VCA, Jarrod has been involved in acting, writing and directing for theatre, as well as lighting design, sound design and composing music for film. Jarrod writes and performs all the music for his films, and is skilled in 3D graphics, title design and DVD authoring. In 2000 Jarrod established The Factor Cinema Files, a website devoted to the understanding of cinema technology, which also reviews Melbourne cinemas for audio-visual performance. Back in another lifetime, Jarrod was a child actor, appearing in the MTC productions of Grapes of Wrath and Assassins, as well as The Bell Shakespeare Company's 1994 production of Richard III and the telemovie The Feds: Abduction. And if you look really closely, you can see him playing drums in the band in The Dish. More information about Jarrod can be found at his site: www.factorfiles.com or imdb.com
