The Visitor is a short film inspired by real-life experience. The story begins with a strange-looking figure visiting the protagonist at his home one night. Almost inevitably, the pair forged a cosy yet somewhat uncomfortable relationship; the visitor was always present but quiet and indifferent. The calm did not last long though, as strange, unexplainable things began to happen and the protagonist became suspicious of the visitor. The relationship eventually broke down and things spiralled out of control quickly. This is a story about the relationship between individuals; it could also be about the relationship we have with our own inner demons. In fact, it can be interpreted in many ways, depending on the audience’s background and personal experience. This is a thought-provoking story filled with amazing illustrations that will stir your imagination and prompt you to reflect deeply about yourself.
