Box and Cox — A Surreal Corkonian Comedy Short

Two tenants. One flat. No clue.

Box and Cox is an absurdist comedy about two men unknowingly renting the same one-bed flat — one by day, one by night. When they finally collide over a missing pork chop, chaos erupts in the form of dice games, bacon betrayals, and a landlady who’s clearly unwell.

It’s fast and furious. It’s loud, but at a safe decibel level. It’s theatrical, but we aren't doing it in a theatre. It’s a little bit sad, but not like, melancholy. And it’s very, very funny. I know, I'm in it.

We want to create a low-budget, high-energy comedy short that feels like Father Ted meets Waiting for Godot— You like one of those things already, and would like the other if you've heard of it.

There’s no CGI. No explosions. Just three (and a half) great performances, one ridiculous flat, and a frying pan full of conflict (and sporadically pork chops).

Every euro will help us make this properly, while paying people something for their time. I'm giving these people memories for life, but they would much prefer money lets face it.

Your funding will go toward:

Cast & crew day rates (actors, camera, sound)

Props (bacon, coins, wigs, regret)

Costumes and set dressing (charity shop chic)

Hot meals and cold tea (peppermint if donations are kind!)

Sound design and post-production polish

If we go over target, we’ll put it toward:

Festival submissions (We'll match the belief you show us) (That one wasn't a joke)

Subtitles & accessibility (We believe in an equal opportunity viewership)

Better fake bacon

Sam Jackson in an eye patch at the end?

You if I like your CV

Perks of donating:

Personalised video (if we have your number, and we're in good form)

Exclusive early access to the film (we'll let you into the screening first- think of it as priority boarding to a Ryanair flight.)

A digital bacon certificate (immortality?)

This is a passion project — small, funny, local, and ridiculous in the best way. With your help, we’ll turn one stupid argument into a proper short film. And maybe win a packet of rashers in a film festival along the way.
