THE KEEPER | Short Film

“First impressions never last...”
A rich playboy invites a young lady to his opulent apartment for a romantic evening of mutual flirtation. After an apparent misunderstanding, a series of chaotic events lead to a sinister revelation.
'The Keeper' is a dark comedy thriller directed by James Chappell who assisted Director Stephan Elliott (Priscilla: Queen of the Desert) on the hit 2011 comedy 'A Few Best Men'. Featuring an original score by AACTA award-winning composer Michael Lira (The Hunter) and starring fresh talents Sarah Bishop (Bondi Hipsters) and Adam Cleland (Crownies), this ‘hairy’ tale of thrills and spills will satisfy those with an appetite for dark twists and turns.
