Organ
Failure

Doctor Carnett is preparing her patient, Mr Cole for a transplant operation. He warns her that a lot of people want him dead, but she tells him it is her duty to protect her patient at all costs. Meanwhile the organ courier is speeding through the streets. The operation begins with no sign of the courier, so the anaesthetist tells her to close up as it is too late. Just then the courier storms in with the organ box, but instead pulls out a gun and threatens her. Terrified, she tries to find out what is going on. He says the patient is in fact guilty of human trafficking and deserves to die. He pulls off his helmet and she thinks he looks familiar and he admits that they are father and son. He keels for one last look and she takes the opportunity to grab a scalpel and slit his throat. Back with Mr. Cole after the operation she tells him the organ was a perfect match. He thanks her and tells her she is now part of the family. She recoils with the implication.

Organ Failure was completed just before the coronavirus lockdown in March 2020, thus delaying the processing and delivery, but in the short time it has since been on the festival circuit, it has already been selected for the Independent Shorts Awards in Los Angeles.
