My main character plays the mysterious, eerie old man, who throughout the short film appears suspicious and a suspect. I wanted this character to represent an alone, older person, who obviously has some sort of troubles. He needed to be a good actor, with quite a strong looking build. I think Mark was perfect for this role, as although he isn’t necessarily the everyday conventional horror suspect, he has the right ‘look’ to create that spooky atmosphere. His dark hair, skin and eyes all resemble the darkness and shadows, which go well with the dim setting, and his big build also helps create the sense that he is quite strong and overpowering.
