About the project
Prestigious novelist & transphobe Stephen Gunter is “cancelled” while attending a writer’s festival. As the next generation of novelists flourish around him, Stephen is left alone with his insecurities in a luxury hotel suite and begins to transform into something he can't rationalise: an unremarkable platypus. Later, his young manager finds him missing, and takes the opportunity to transform her own future.

Joseph Carney
Joe's diverse life experiences are the driving spirit behind his independent filmmaking practice. From the moment his father -then nine years old- left his dockside home in working class north England for central Nigeria, Joe's family has never stopped moving. The result of their nomadic existence was a childhood spent observing just how variegated humanity can be: from the paranoia of 9/11 Saudi Arabia, to the strained communion of cultures in Kuala Lumpur, to the gun-addled highways of Texas and the revelry of Canada 150. It is this sincere love for the diverse outlooks and opportunities of the wider world - plus the critique of those systems and individuals whose goal it is to narrow our perspectives - that motivates Joe's storytelling in the medium of film.
