“I thought Dolls was just extraordinary. One of the keys
of making short films, you want to create your own universe, have your own voice
and this film has a spectacularly different significant, coloured voice.
I’ve not seen a short film like it before.”
Jeremy Howe, Head of Short Films, BBC
"Susan Luciani is an inventive and imaginative writer, very
cinematic. Dolls is undeniably a vibrant and original short. Her work
is incredibly vivid and gothic with a haunting quality throughout,
giving it a very distinctive feel"
