The Zoo - 17 minutes - 2012
When 17-year-old Leslie arrives a lavish dinner party with her parents, she quickly realises that the adults she previously admired are no different to the animals she reads about in books.
Set in the 1960s, when society was beginning to challenge its established norms and proclivities, 'The Zoo' is an absurdist comedy exploring the evolution of humans and our instinctual behaviours.
