deathpixieI saw this film Sarah in the Dark on the plane from Vancouver to Sydney. It's a ten minute short, but if you ever have the chance to see it, I highly recommend you do.
It's the story most of my friendslist will recognise. A woman, bullied by her own fears and insecurities, finds herself too demoralised to do think she can ever be successful. She's in a job she hates, she's too afraid to talk to anyone for fear of appearing stupid and socially inept and every moment is punctuated by abuse from her inner voice, in the film portrayed as a kind of invisible friend that no-one else but her can see and hear. It would be a hugely depressing film, only at the end, she faces her fears and she fights back, telling her version of Captain Paranoia to shut up - and amazingly, he does. And from that moment, her life changes for the better.
It's a regular staple on the short film circuit, so keep an eye out. Sarah in the Dark. It's awesome.
(also, as of today I have officially paid off the Aussie credit card and I am now going to put it with the passport and use it only in Dire Emergency, which, for the record, doesn't include any kind of shopping. ;) )
