A bit about the film:
‘That Lizard Laden Death Feel’ is a 10-minute absurd and magic realist drama about irrational anxiety and denial. In the film, a philosophy of art academic (DAVID) is disturbed by an upturned bowl brought home by his partner (GEN); he attempts to force himself to look underneath the bowl. The scenario explores the futility in suppressing knowledge we know to be true, regardless of the pain it inflicts.

Appearance: Intense eyes. Slim. Dark hair. Not conventially handsome. Clean-shaven.
David has a driven passion for his academic studies – he’s on the edge of uncovering something new. His introverted character lends to this prioritizing of his work that mainly consists of the solitary activity of reading and note-taking. He is very intelligent and loves fine art and delta blues. David has been in a relationship with Gen for a long time, married for 12 years, they get on admirably well. He loves her, they never argue, although he can occasionally be too blunt.

Gen is outgoing, hardworking and compassionate.

Although she is always buzzing in and out of the house, whenever she is with him there is a huge warmth.
