A Little Death: A Modern Day Fairytale
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Little Death is a 16mm short film made by Simon Perkins and Paul Swadel in 1994. The project evolved from an earlier idea called Into The Void, involving a male character walking in on his lover in bed with another. The interest of the idea centred on the ambiguity of the lover's gender, and by inference the sexual orientation of the observer.[1][2]

The script for this film was written as a Beatscript[3][4] rather than a conventional screenplay. The film has been cited as one of a select number of shorts that heralded The Coming of Age of The New Zealand Short Film.[citation needed]
