Ominous Intruder Sparks Family Mystery in Jonathan Saunders Short

'Jumper' is a short film written and directed by Justin Anderson, It tells the story of a bourgeois European family whose lives are invaded by an enigmatic visitor. Set within a 20th century modern villa in Spain, his presence creates an unnerving effect.

The film was produced to coincide with the the 10 year anniversary of British fashion designer, Jonathan Saunders. Jonathan is incredibly passionate about film and it often serves as a starting point for a collection, in this instance the collection was the starting point for the film.

Inspired by David Hockney's ‘swimming pool series’ and the 1968 Pasolini's film ‘Teorema’ - Justin’s film focuses on a middle class family of four, who’s lives are all individually connected to the mysterious visitor. Edited in a way that is purposefully confusing, Justin pulls you into this melee of ambiguity that the Mother, Father, Son and Daughter are all lost within.
