Description

A young boy goes missing in a seemingly “perfect” suburban neighbourhood. His best friend has no idea what happened, and slowly begins to descend into an abyss of grief, tormented by the mystery surrounding the disappearance. Soon the depressed lad begins sleeping in his armoire, haunted by the silence it holds. Through magnificent art direction, Jamie Travis brings us another sad children’s tale, eerily capturing a young boy’s struggle to hide his secrets. KM

Jamie Travis studied film at the University of British Columbia. His short films include Patterns (05), Patterns 2 (06), Patterns 3 (06) and The Saddest Boy in the World (06), all of which screened at the Festival. The Armoire (09) is his latest film.
