Sales Pitch: Rodent is a visually striking and immersive short film by Joe Fereday that takes us into the world of an unassuming yet oddly relatable creature - a rat. With stunning cinematography and commanding voice acting from Art Malik, the film follows this scrappy survivor as it hustles for food, dodges danger, and thrives in the ruins of human civilisation. Blurring the line between nature documentary and cinematic storytelling, Rodent challenges perceptions - reminding us that while humanity may fall, something will always be there to take its place… and not even a rat is safe. If you like David Attenborough documetary's in the style of Blade Runner 2049 then this is for you.
