However, only the bookend scenes, starring Samantha Bolter, Kamillia Kataxenna Kova, and Jessica Ann Brownlie, were filmed, and the only story segment submitted was the short film One Woman Show, featuring Nathan Head and Helen Fullerton.

In 2008, it was selected for the I-Con 27 Film Festival in New York, where it was shown on April 4th. The following year, on July 8th, 2009, the short film was screened at the old Greenroom bar and performance space in Manchester as part of KinoFilm Shorts. It received excellent reviews from the local press, with one reporter noting that its visual style and atmosphere were reminiscent of Michael Mann's 1986 film Manhunter.
