The Wrong Side of the Bed

This film is about a rich, but stingy old man, named Mr Giveaway, who always gets up on the wrong side of the bed. He is disliked by the rest of the townsfolk & shows his cruelty to them regularly. He eats a diet of fish, from the lake below his house, which the other townsfolk won't approach for fear of a legendary monster, Mr Giveaway, however, regards this tale as nonsense. How often though, can someone keep getting up on the wrong side of the bed before something nasty happens? The film is a dark comedy, is one minute in length and is aimed at children and young adults. Given the timeframe that I had to make the film, I focused on producing a coherent short film based on a loose idea that I already had which I then fleshed out into a short story.
