Pestilence! Depravity! Mutiny!
This short film follows the crew - The Captain, The First Mate, The Chef & The Engineer - of an old vessel returning from a long voyage at sea. Before they are allowed shore leave, the ship is commanded to anchor indefinitely in harbour due to the outbreak of plague. As boredom gives way to restlessness, anarchy creeps aboard as The Captain tries desperately to maintain order while battling her own mounting delirium.
Taking place entirely on deck and in the bowels of an old 1960’s frigate, Yellow Jack pokes fun at the tenuous nature of the status quo when people are robbed of momentum. As humdrum routine descends into fever dream mayhem, the film moves from tongue-in cheek parody to claustrophobic madness and bloody, bloody mutiny.
