Right from the beginning, our fabulous comedy short Snug As A Bug had a bigger, brassier, bad-assier sister.

That big, bad-ass sis is Happy Birthday Mrs. Shine: she controls the remote when mum’s not around, she’s better at netball (because she leads with the elbows) and she takes the book-ended story of Snug and ramps it up to new levels of mishap, paranoia and amateur dissection.

Lady hit squads! Lunatics in caravans! Autopsies in garden sheds!

It’s sometimes difficult to know how to start conceptualising a project like Happy Birthday… which is why we’re more than happy to devolve that tricky visual conceptualising to hyper-talented artistic collaborator Louise Caruana Galizia of Cue Pictures who has a fine eye for the enigmatic and visually engaging.

She’s made a start. We like the start she’s made…

There’ll be more news as time passes and hopefully more cool conceptualising from Louise at Cue Pictures (@cuepictures)
