Produced by Algernon Productions in 2004, Leave Me Alone is a seven minute short film set in London and Australia.
In our intrusive world of global personal
communications, how far do you go to truly "get away from it all"?
Sam escapes to a tranquil Australian beach seeking solitude, lazy sunshine and
the soothing hush of the ocean. However, it's not long before his estranged
girlfriend Rachel, left far behind in England, tries to track him down.
Leave Me Alone was made by Andrew Robb and Martin Briggs-Watson. Andrew
is an Australian actor based in London. He is best known for his role in the
cult theatre production “The Vegemite Tales”, a comedy about antipodeans
living
in London. Martin is a an accomplished writer and musician and co-founder of
Distant Object Productions.
Leave Me Alone was their first short film.
