Synopsis


Ruby can’t sleep at the best of times, but when a power cut ravages her meticulous nightly routine, her sleepless night descends into a horror-fuelled labyrinth where she is haunted by some unwanted visitors in her tiny studio flat. With no place to escape, Ruby is forced to confront her darkest fears, however terrifying or embarrassing they may be.

Ida Melum


After receiving her acting diploma in Norway, Ida earned her BA in Animation at Middlesex University, London. She worked as a stop motion animator on films such as the BAFTA winning Poles Apart, and Facing It, before deciding to get her master’s degree in Directing Animation at the National Film and Television School. During her time at the NFTS, she made films such as Shopped and Ovary-Acting and her graduation film; Night of the Living Dread. She is inspired by characters and everyday life, and the small and big challenges they bring. Her stop motion films have been screened at several festivals, and she won the Jury Award for her film Abducted by Aliens for the BBC TV-Licensing Campaign.
