Tippet
Directed by Sophie KennyA back street engineer known as The Child-Maker who makes designer robotic children for high-end clients. Despite criticism amongst the public, the product is in major demand which has given rise to the black market creating their own ranges. The Child-maker begins his morning like any other; going into his workshop to finish his latest robot model; 'Tippet'. He arranges his tools and brings out Tippet to the worktable for inspection to see that it is in working order. The Client enters during his inspection.She is firm and makes several demands, pressuring the child-maker for the robots completion. When leaving, she declares that the product must be perfect for final collection, and decides that she wants it later in the day - much earlier than the Child-maker expected. It is night, The Child-maker is calculating final adjustments to the robot. To his surprise, the robot speaks to him, questioning why it is not 'perfect'. The child-maker turns to discover the robot has also injured itself while curiously picking up a nail from the workbench. Trapped between concern, and being wary of a malfunction, the child-maker attends to the robots injuries, assessing the damage. Almost immediately the client returns, at once demanding the robot be finished. The child-maker detaches himself from his work and shares a tender moment with Tippet, stuck in a moral dilemma of whether to let it go with the client, or to go with his heart and hold on to it.
