A teenager who lives close to an accelerator sees his world change.

With Particles director Harrison says something important about the experience of adolescence itself, rejecting soap-boxing didacticism for something far more subjective, disorienting and indefinably creepy.

The Hollywood Reporter

While finally too slight to set commercial venues on fire, this Directors' Fortnight title does suggest Harrison is an expert creator of mood and ambiance and has a young voice that could be further developed.
