World Premiere of Short Film "Standstill" - Official Selection at Calgary International Film Festival
EntSun News/10787639
Selection for the 20th Calgary International Film Festival marks the short film's launch on the festival circuit
MONTREAL - EntSun -- Flyer Films is proud to announce that Standstill, written and directed by Katia Shannon, will have its world premiere at the 20thCalgary International Film Festival. The 12-minute short film stars Victoria Diamond (Bellevue, Game of Death) and Mark A. Krupa (The Wild Hunt, Rhymes for Young Ghouls).
Anchored in Katia Shannon's own life experience as a type 1 diabetic, Standstill delves into the harrowing isolation that comes with being misunderstood. Expressing her greatest fear, the film proposes an impressionistic and visceral portrait of the fine thread that people living with diabetes navigate on a daily basis to stay alive.
''I wanted to challenge myself in conveying these intimate and intense sensations visually.'' said Shannon. ''I made the choice to never explicitly mention diabetes in the film, because when something happens in the real world, you never have the luxury of providing context. I wanted to rely on performance and Victoria (Diamond) was incredible. She has such range and truly carries you into this film.''
