Melbourne after midnight: a man reads a letter that costs him, his living shadow peels away, and he must choose — chase what fled him, or walk beside it.

Playback Films

A Melbourne production label for short cinema — pictures held until they are ready to be watched.

We finish before we announce. Runtime earned, not padded. Wet streets, still stations, stories that cost something. The first of them is ARIN — three minutes and thirty-two seconds of a man, a letter, and the shadow that leaves him.

No invented laurels. Just the work on the slate, and the next picture when it finds its hour.
