// Premiere // "I always attempt to play with people’s perception of what it is they’re watching and create something that’s unpeeling itself moment to moment, I think it keeps an audience locked in." @colin_m_otoole speaks to DN about using tension as the narrative fuel of his multi-layered comedy short 'Cul-de-sac' where a couple in a waning marriage try an unconventional activity to reconnect with each other.
