Slightly Sighted: Writer, Director and Editor: Jonathan McIntyre Sound: Jonathan McIntyre and James Withycombe Diane and Oscar are both incredibly different in every way on their perspectives on life and have never gotten on. Diane seeks adventure and ventures off into the forest to find a waterfall within the forest , Oscar on the other hand is far more aware to the dangers that lurk within and the tales of a witch spirit roaming follows her into the woods. When the two are forced to take shelter in an old cabin, the two begin to realise that they are more alike than they care to admit and have to reluctantly work together to escape the cabin and the dangers that lie within. Will they make it too the waterfall or will they tear themselves apart?
