Who I Am And What I Want
Written and Directed by
Chris Shepherd and David Shrigley and produced by
Maria Manton.
This unique, weird, poignant, wicked and darkly funny
short film is based on a book by David Shrigley. Narrated
by social outcast, Pete, voiced by Kevin Eldon [Nighty
Night / Jam / Big Train etc], who bares all to tell
us his life story: birth, shit-hovelling jobs, drink,
medication, self ostraciation in the woods and all.
Pete shares his deepest and darkest wishes, fears
and thoughts. Pete says he knows "that some of
the things that I did were wrong and evil, but I'm
certain that I didn't actually do a lot of the things
they said I did".
This highly collectible limited edition DVD single
comes with an exclusive illustrated book by David
Shrigley. Shrigley is best known for his illustrations,
art and sculptures, which have been exhibited throughout
the world in 24 solo shows including London Underground
and Beck's Futures, and with more than 20 books of
his drawings published.
Co-director Chris Shepherd's work has been nominated
twice for the film BAFTA. His credits include adverts,
title sequences, music videos, and the award winning
Stareout sketches on BBC/Talkback's Big Train. He
is co-founder of the London based film production
company Slinky Pictures, with producer Maria Manton.
