Very much enjoying making silly things throughout lockdown, so am putting them all in a thread here. If you like what I do, the dream is to get about 500 people to buy me a £3 coffee a month so I can just continue pumping out nonsense here for free. https://ko-fi.com/matthighton
If you can't afford that, obviously don't do it - I'll still be an idiot! Likes & shares give me delicious dopamine, so are a sustainable alternative.

Distress Call: This short film was shot pre lockdown, I just wanted to see if I could film in my kitchen but make it look like space. I love this so much and want more people to see it.
Morrisey hitting a spider. The video no one went for, but I'm putting in because I'm so happy with how real the spider hit came out using photos of a table and some flowers.

The 90s one was the hardest to make. Nearly gave up. https://twitter.com/MattHighton/status/1367779655713951745?s=20
