The absence of David-James Fernades' Re-Wire from this year's edition of the Worldwide Short Film Festival was a real head scratcher for me, the local production seeming like an obvious pick for the festival's SciFi program, at the bare minimum, and possibly one of the festival's competitive official selection programs. But while I personally think it's far and away one of the better science fiction shorts of the year it didn't make it in for some reason, which means local audiences have not yet had the chance to see Splice co-star Brandon McGibbon deliver a sterling performance as a young man seeking the help of an unorthodox neurosurgeon to rid him of 'the fear'.
McGibbon has a relatively minor role in Splice - he's Adrien Brody's brother - but he's front and center from start to finish of this and he's excellent. Take a look at this freshly released scene below.
