Comedy, Short Films, 04-Jun-2025
At the end of an eight-year relationship, a woman dies from boredom. “SALLY,” directed by Owen Ellis, is a comedy reflecting on expiring relationships and the effort to preserve them. Mark hasn’t been meeting Sally’s needs, leaving their relationship to shrivel and sending Sally into a brain dead state. Desperate to keep her alive, he attempts a resurrection but is only semi-successful. Even with a new animated version of Sally, the man still struggles, obliviously failing in the relationship as he did before. The film offers plenty of skeletal imagery and dismembered limbs, however comedy comes first in this account of a ‘dying’ relationship. -JM. Director: Owen Ellis. Writer: Owen Ellis. Cast: Malik Elassal, Zeenah Alsamarrai, Simon Therrien, Nathan Hare, Lisa Baran. DP: Owen Ellis. Editor: Sarah Worden & Owen Ellis. Skeleton Puppeteers: Gerald Biggs & Justin Patterson.
