  • SALIENT MINUS TEN is the new Sci-Fi Horror short film from award-winning filmmaker Emma Dark, and is a cerebral foray into the darker, more disturbing, side of Science Fiction.
    Adam Harper (Alan Austen, Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back) is an average man. And on an average day he suddenly finds himself catapulted into the strangest, reality changing game... A game of time and chance, where the stakes are a matter of life and death.
    "Instead of relying on gore or cheap jump scares to get under your skin, this is a film which asks you to think and connect the dots yourself, and you almost feel as though you want to thank it for that." - Dread Central (4/5* review), bit.ly/2on4LJi

    I like the idea of a bunch of 9to5 types being mysteriously teleported to some enchanted forest. I find it oddly satisfying for some reason.

      Absolutely! How many times have commuters daydreamed about doing something far more exciting on the way into an office? In this scenario it's a case of be careful what you wish for!

    Hi Emma. Congratulations on your film. Can I ask how and why you chose that particular title also where the locations were?

    • @EmmaDarkOfficial
      @EmmaDarkOfficial  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The title is a play on the ten minute time limit Adam Harper is given in the film and the fact it’s highly important (at least to him and the antagonist). Opening shots are the Barbican Estate, London
