Premiering to critical acclaim at the BFI London Film Festival, Marcos Mereles' tongue-in-cheek, genre-defying first feature explores the egos and idiosyncrasies of a fashion shoot gone wrong.

An eccentric photographer (Sid Phoenix), his eager assistant (Yaseen Aroussi) and a jaded make-up artist (Rosie Steel) are waiting for a model (Isabelle Bonfrer) to arrive. They've never used this London warehouse location before, but it's not like anything out of the ordinary. Yet when one of their number disappears overnight, events take a turn for the surreal.

Very Slight

This is quite nicely shot, and tries hard to escape the limitations of what is clearly a near-zero budget, but ultimately I'm not sure I'd have missed much by not seeing it.

Without getting into spoilers, there's some interesting "meta" stuff going on, and even a hint of science fiction, which was rather unexpected, but I think the main predictor of whether you will enjoy it is how much you like the characters. One in particular irritated me quite a lot (perhaps deliberately?) and a couple left no impact at all, but mostly they were OK to spend time with.

Hopefully with this on their CV some will go on to greater things.
