Six minutes. One apartment. Zero chill. The squatter situation from hell.
"Detour" is a sort of offshoot of "Contour" where Law (Eric Jacobus) goes to rent an apartment and strikes a deal with the landlord (Shaun Finney) where he'll get a discount on his deposit if he takes care of a squatter (Chelsea Steffensen) outside.
Stunts
Jacobus and Steffensen inventively brutal for six minutes.
Practical Effects
Zero budget, maximum impact.
Director
Pete Lee
