Christopher Nolan Director

previously directed Doodlebug

Christopher Nolan's no budget debut feature film tells the story of an unemployed, aspiring writer who begins following random people through the bustling streets of London for inspiration, until things take a dark turn when one of his followers confronts him...

Trivia:

Many of the production staff can be seen as extras in the background - Christopher Nolan's wife (and producer of this and several of his other films), Emma Thomas can be seen several times, as can the film's composer, David Julyan.

Reference: The Shining

Pictures of Jack Nicholson's character can be seen on the wall by The Young Man's desk.

And when it stopped being random, that's when it started to go wrong.
