String – Short film – 10 minutes (2006)

This is the trailer of a comic short drama which Naomi wrote and directed. ‘String’ played at fourteen festivals around the world, including Palm Springs, Rome and Sao Paulo. The film was winner of four audience awards, including ‘Best Short’ at Washington DC International Film Festival.

The film is about a man on his way to work who finds a label on the ground attached to a piece of string. The label reads:

FOLLOW STRING FOR HAPPINESS

Intrigued, the man abandons going to work and begins to follow the string, gathering it up into a ball as he goes. Will he manage to reach the string’s end? And what will he find if he gets there?
