WHILE THE CAT’S AWAY…
Short Film
Dark Comedy - 11 minutes
While waiting for her beloved Brad to arrive home late from work, Sarah spends her night the only way she knows how. From tedious household chores that are undone moments later, to spontaneous dance numbers and movie reenactments in front of the mirror, finally ending her night with some well earned pampering. It’s an uneventful night of boredom and procrastination, while waiting to give her darling man a late night surprise.
