Christopher Nolan started off his career with a short film called Doodlebug which was created in 1997 which is about a man who waits patiently in his apartment to squash a bug, but maybe he could be hurting himself more than he realises. This was produced by his wife and producing partner Emma Thomas. Christopher Nolan shot the 3 minute long movie on a 16mm black and white film whilst studying at UCL. The main protagonist is portrayed by an actor called Jeremy Theobald, who also starred in one of Nolan's debut feature film called 'Following' a year later.
This is a good example of what our proposed short film would be, that sense of paranoia and fear, the sense of isolation like the man who from the looks of it hasn't been out of his apartment for days, he's been avoiding calls, so desperate to relieve his mind of this 'Doodlebug', and then at the end, the audience realise what it actually is and how it will personally affect him.
