MUMBAI: A short film about a man who turns into a puffer fish is looking for a sponsor with a view to be turned into a series. Directed by Ben West, coming from a visual effects background, the film follows the fortunes of a Japanese salary man who turns into a puffer fish after eating a live one in a restaurant.
 
West‘s production company @Radicalmedia, islooking out for a distributor and is also considering looking for a sponsorship tie-up.
 
"It‘s a film with edge, and is probably not for mainstream audiences. But there‘s potential for the film to become a branded entertainment series if we get a sponsor," West has been quoted to have said.
 
Earlier, West used to work at post house named Animal Logic on visual effects before he moved to directing films. Commercials he has directed include work for 5 Seeds and the Australian Directors‘ Guild.
