About the Film
This was one of the 24 hour film challenge 2004 entries (otherwise known as the Oddball Challenge). On Saturday 2nd October five of us turned up at UGC Shaftsbury Avenue to receive our genre and title. 24 hours later we handed in this five minute film along with 90 other teams in the UK.


We were fortunate enough to get into the top 10 finalists. Two weeks later the film was premiered at the 12th Raindance Film Festival in West London. It should also be released on DVD alongside the other 10 finalists later in 2004.

The Story
Our central character is asked to investigate a virus spreading internet site called, yes, ‘Informatica’. But once he’s gone to this unusual site some strange things begin to happen in the house over the same night. He informs another person of the site and goes to bed. During the night one of the many victims trapped in the site crawls out… Japanese style horror ensues.
