Our current showpiece is Josh Reid's 2007 short film Insight. This touching film depicts an unhappy business man and a homeless drunk. The business man falls asleep in his office and dreams that he has become the old man he passes by in the park everyday. The business man wakes with a start, his attitudes challenged. He decides to leave the office and go and help the old man in the park. The film challenges the views own attitudes and prompts the audience to think. The message in the film is not to judge others, homelessness and putting oneself in another's shoes. At the end of the film the audience is left wondering if the business man and the old drunk are actually related in some way.
