Alone in his cell, a deeply disturbed man delivers a psychotic monologue, and reveals an alarming secret in this darkly funny claymation short from the workshop of Tom Reilly. Reilly made his first claymation short in 2001 and is one of a small number of  New Zealand animators using this technique. Man with Issues was originally made for the Wellington Fringe Film Festival Competition, in which all films had to reflect the theme of the 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly'; Working with a shoestring budget, Reilly was inspired to reflect all three in one character. The short went onto play in festivals across the world.
