collectible limited edition dvd

"This film is about who i am and what i want. It's not about who you are and what you want. You always think everything I make is about you but it's not. It's all about me..."

onedotzero is proud to announce the dvd release of who i am and what i want, the first film collaboration between acclaimed director Chris Shepherd and cult artist David Shrigley, and first ever dvd single release by onedotzero. A Slinky Pictures Production

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-shovelling jobs, drink, medication, self ostraciation in the woods. Pete shares his deepest and darkest wishes, fears and thoughts. Pete says 'I know 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, who is best known for his illustrations, art and sculptures, which have been exhibited throughout the world and published in more than 20 books. Co-director Chris Shepherd's work has been nominated twice for the film Bafta.
