Admit One
Short Film (Full Length) – 1999
Young Christchurch short filmmaker Patrick Gillies deftly uses four minutes to present a delightful incident of bawdy humour in Admit One, which brings new meaning to the term, “the intimacy of cinema”.– Reviewer Hans Petrovic in Christchurch newspaper The Press
There’s no such thing as a private screening...– Tagline for Admit One
Movie theatres are conducive to intimacy. In Admit One, I took a familiar scenario and stretched it to absurd lengths. But the characters’ unexpected reactions create an amusing twist.– Writer/director Patrick Gillies, in the press kit for Admit One
Filmed in the People's Republic of Christchurch N.Z.– Closing credit note
