Submitter Statement : The story uses a MacGuffin, a mysterious box which appears without explanation to three cult members, to explore blind faith and humanity's need for answers, sometimes at any cost. At first the gift brings them together, but soon the lack of concrete answers sends the cultists spinning allegiances and spreading rumours and suspicion behind one another's backs. A touch nihilistic, their peaceful existence slowly descends into chaos and horror as their contrasting faiths and values are tested and twisted. Ultimately I see the box as an allegory for a holy book, and the individuals' rash assumptions and setting of new 'rules' reflects how many holy leaders warp religious texts to serve their own needs.

Submitter Biography : David Mahler is a Canadian/Australian filmmaker and visual artist based in Vancouver, Canada. A graduate from the University of Melbourne's Victorian College of the Arts, his short films have screened in international festivals from LA to Croatia.
