Orange, by Sit Down Shut-up And Watch, is a 2023 Australian short that looks at anxiety, friendship and the young adult experience through shifting points of view. The film considers perception and individuality while touching on mental health in a careful, human way. Oranges appear as a visual note, offering moments of colour and texture rather than a fixed meaning. As part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, Orange sits alongside works that highlight the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability. It is a quiet, thoughtful piece that invites viewers to reconsider how they see others and themselves.
Once you cross this world and into that unconscious state, you will vividly be present in everything you see. Closer and closer you go. I'm so glad you have finally moved here. I know, it was such a long time coming. Yeah. I'm so happy. The move was exhausting. Really? Yes. This town's like, a little bit weird. It's because I'm here. I mean, yeah, but also like, all the oranges and stuff, like even the bins, is it necessary? Well, I mean, after a while... Are they that iconic? After a while you get used to it. I know, but like, I feel like everywhere I turn there's just oranges, it's getting like a bit much. Yeah. I mean, it is very unappealing to start with. Do you get it? Because oranges... I get it. I hate it. What? It's funny. It's not funny. You just have terrible humour. No. But I mean, like, listen, once you get really into the community, it gets so much more juicy. Do you get it? Well, I'm going to be a comedian one day. You need new material. I'm going to be a comedian one day. Just watch. Yeah, a comedian that specialises in orange jokes. Well, maybe that's what's in right now. Yeah, maybe that's not what's in right now. Well, you don't know that, you're not a comedian. And you're not yet either. Phone. Phone. Hold on. Did you do this? That's not funny. Owen, seriously. Your body now feels separate from yourself. You are now your own energy. The life force behind that body. Deeper. You go. Owen. Owen. Owen. Are we dreaming? Are we dreaming? Scream.
