Steam

STEAM
A Film by Damien Rea

Cast: David Norwell
this was a cute vid



Have you ever wondered what men do when they’re home alone? Many have lost their minds trying to solve this mistery. Sometimes the best shorts involve a simple set-up followed by a witty punchline, and that's exactly what this is, as we watch a sweaty, naked hunk getting ready to party. Only what we think we see might not actually be what's happening. With full-on production values and a rather outrageously fit man in the centre of the screen, filmmaker Rea is clearly having fun with the audience, teasing us with innuendo and expectations and overlaying the image with ponderous quotes from the likes of Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud and, erm, Meryl Streep. And the final reveal is pretty hilarious.

  1. You know, I feel a little stupid but I don't get this short film at all.

    I loved the surprised ending, but I don't get why the quote's where there.
