How to Disappear Completely
We see so little with our impatient eyes
How to Disappear Completely is the story of a young photographer (David House) and how he sees the world around him.
Disgusted by his perception of humanity – as represented by a modern shopping centre – he retreats from society choosing instead to photograph animals, wild and in their unspoiled habitat. In order to do this, of course, he has to learn to disappear completely – to become a meaningless part of the scenery, unobtrusive and unnoticed.
The photographer’s philosophy is that if people are too busy to appreciate what is around them, then he can’t be bothered with people. And it’s a philosophy with which he is very happy.
Until the day that he is paralyzed by the sight of a beautiful woman (Michelle Munden)…
How to Disappear Completely exemplifies everything that is good about in short filmmaking. The film is gorgeously shot and tells a simple story – with a genuinely shocking ending - beautifully.
It’s a film that is well worth tracking down.

I really didn’t like anything about this film except the shots of the wildlife.
This was a decent movie, and I would recommend seeing it if you can track it down.
