Director James Killough takes the helm for this short film about a most unusual encounter in the Tate Britain. Helen is wandering the corridors of the vast museum when she begins to suspect that a creepy security guard is tracking her every move. Her pace quickening, Helen enters the Romantic Painting Gallery and befriends a young girl named Jenny. Jenny is a child artist who is waiting for her father Carson - a well-known artist himself - to return. Feeling safe with the young girl, Helen sits down. As the pair awaits the return of Jenny's father, the young girl tells Helen a surreal story involving a feral child named Cat. When Jenny's father returns from the restroom, he invites Helen to join him for a walk through the museum. Along the way, Carson and Helen bond by exchanging stories of their disastrous marriages: Carson's wife was a drug addict who suffered a fatal heroin overdose at one of his shows, and Helen's husband mysteriously vanished with the couple's young children in tow. Later, after Helen agrees to sit for a portrait by Carson, the artist and his daughter have an unsettling encounter on their way out of the museum. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
