THE PAINTED MAN

2024 | SHORT

SYNOPSIS

A street performer arrives in a dreary suburb and discovers an unlikely kinship with a young person.

Inspired by the science-fiction writer Ray Bradbury's own story of how he became a writer, this surreal coming-of-age film blurs the lines between reality and fantasy, past and present.

Veteran theatre director Dan Colley brings his strikingly visual sensibility to his debut film about the ways that outsiders find each other at the margins of everyday life.
