"Straight Circle is a story about two enemy border guards in an infinitely flat desert who forget whose side of the border is whose. As I am a staunch believer in practical effects & borderline absurdist production approaches I insisted we find ourselves a real life desert location with a perfectly flat 360° horizon & cast identical twins in the lead roles. This nigh-on-impossible brief left us camping for 7 weeks on a brutally remote & minimalist-psychedelic salt pan in the Kalahari Desert where we battled blazing heat, melting prosthetic make up and the overwhelming existential weight of a truly empty landscape. I had the time of my life." Oscar Hudson, director
