In a world gone to hell, best keep a sense of humour. 

Torrid Films’ current slate of projects plumbs the depths of the human condition, Australia’s love affair with real estate, office politics on mobility scooters and close combat wordplay. We believe in not taking the world at large TOO seriously because it’s better to laugh, and more often at ourselves.

“Harrowing and then, beautiful” is how ABC Hobart Radio host, Mel Bush appraised “Release” during an interview with director, Zoë Harvey in mid June. The short had just won the People’s Choice Award in the Open Section at the Very Short Film Festival 2023. Watch the full short here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ucZufdzb_o
