Fire in Cardboard City
Short Film (Trailer) – 2017
I tried to put as much action-packed action into seven minutes and just keep it entertaining. I often find you go to short film screenings and they’re really depressing.
– Director Phil Brough in an interview with Flicks website, 18 July 2017
Actually, someone said, 'It’s got a terrible name – Fire in Cardboard City – I know immediately what's going to happen.' F***ing idiot.
– Director Phil Brough in an interview with Flicks website, 18 July 2017
The thing is we got $10,000 from the [NZ] Film Commission. Then we spent that quite quickly. It was mostly done after we blew the money just trying to fit it in between any free time.

...a fantastically original stop motion piece made with corrugated cardboard.
