The Rollerskater
The first Beezal Mop to hit the local cinema screen at The Pivotonian Cinema in…hang on. Let’s step back.
Beezal Mop? Uhhh - basically created for a series of short skits where we featured a character with the very name. Now we’re using it to frame what these films are. Collaborative, changing directors and genres.
Not strictly a short film, not at all a trailer. It’s a pre-feature short. Specifically not trying to cram too much in before the feature film begins, but entertaining a theme with layers of depth.
This one careers into the fast lane with Molly Jean - a rollerskating surgeon just trying to get her caffeine hit in time for surgery. From house to hospital we cruise along the Rollerskater’s journey.
Screening before Barbie at Geelong’s finest Arthouse cinema, The Pivotonian, the Rollerskater is one of my most proud projects to date. As a whole, more of these ‘episodes’ of Beezal Mop are in production looking to hit new cinemas.
