PITCH BLACK HEIST - JOHN MACLEAN (2011)

Written and directed by John Maclean, the crime drama (and black comedy) Pitch Black Heist won the Best Short Film BAFTA in 2012. Starring Michael Fassbender, it tells the story of two Irishmen hired to crack a safe in a London office guarded, for some reason, by a light sensitive alarm system. The younger of the two men - who are strangers - seems to take an immediate dislike to the older but, as they rehearse with blindfolds and share a spliff, they seem to form a bond. However, is one of them hiding a secret and will the heist go as planned in the dark? If you like the BAFTA-winning short film Pitch Black Heist by John Maclean (and can ignore the moment Fassbender glances straight at camera) be sure to rate it and share it!
