Telling Lies

The morning after the night before, a rapid spiral of increasingly disastrous telephone conversations chart the certain ruin of young Phil’s day as he attempts to fib his way out of one scrape after another. This tale of modern manners and communication breakdown is told entirely in animated captions that invite the viewer to share the truth behind the soundtrack's excuses and lies. Written, produced and directed by Nottingham’s Simon Ellis, who has made nine short films. TELLING LIES is a comedy of errors and erroneous information.
