Made in conjunction with Jumpgate VR the project is a moving image artwork rendered in the virtual space. Produced by Anton Andreacchio, Rebecca Summerton and Katrina Lucas this will be the fourth project Closer has taken to Sundance in 5 years after the success of Shut Up Little Man (2011), 52 Tuesdays (2013) and Sam Klemke's Time Machine (2015).
Synopsis: In a moonlit suburban yard, two brothers battle one another in a mythic game of cricket. A study of the motion, physics and psychology of elite sport; a cosmic, dreamlike and darkly beautiful metaphor for life.
