Short Film Showcase - Doodlebug (1997)

With Inception set to hit cinemas in July we're running a number of features on director Christopher Nolan, beginning with this 1997 short...

Doodlebug, 1997.

Written and Directed by Christopher Nolan.
Starring Jeremy Theobald.

The third of three short films made while studying at University College London, the three-minute Doodlebug stars Jeremy Theobald as a man attempting to squash a bug in his apartment but, in the process, could be hurting himself more than he realises. Shot in black and white on 16mm film stock, Doodlebug was produced by Nolan's future wife Emma Thomas, while Theobald would reunite with the director as both producer and star of his debut feature Following (1998) as well as a cameo appearance in Batman Begins (2005).
