A Mime is a Terrible Thing to Waste
2014, 20 minutes
A Mime, a puppet, a love relationship and mystery phone call.
‘A Mime Is A Terrible Thing To Waste’ is an abstract psychological drama. It tells a story of Michael (Michael Batten), a mime, and his closest friend Rock, a puppet (Bhasker Patel). Mime is deeply in love with an arrogant and overconfident Rock, who has no shame in using his power in order to fulfil his needs. Rock receives a mystery call, which leads him to believe that if he murders a mime, he will become a human forever. This is a modern interpretation of Pinocchio – a reminder that life without love is not worth living.
