Wet Feet

A veteran shoemaker seeks distraction from the impending threat of a flood that threatens to wash away the city of Amsterdam as well as his store

Wet Feet was born from a Wild Meep writing workshop, proving that a great story doesn't need a rooftop, a flooding city, or a budget. When the winning concept from our first-ever crowd-sourced writing session called for two shoe cobblers building a boat to escape rising waters, we faced an immediate reality check: we had €450 and four hours in a cobbler's shop in Amsterdam East. We implied the flood through sound design, kept the drama between two characters in a single room, and let the tension of a world ending outside the frame carry the whole film. Then the hard drive died and we shot the whole thing again. Made twice for the price of nothing.
