THE PIG
& PIRATE
Written by Toby McShane
Directed by Lior Troianovski
THE PIG & PIRATE is a snappy, darkly comic crime short written by Toby McShane. When a small-time crook and his unpredictable partner botch a simple job, they’re forced into a tense and often absurd scramble to set things right before the wrong people catch up to them. Mixing quick-fire banter, offbeat characters, and flashes of danger, the film delivers a lean, fast-paced story that balances grit with humor.
Directed by Lior Troianovski, the film was produced in Los Angeles as an international collaboration between the US and the UK. It premiered in 2022 at the Silicon Beach Film Festival, where its sharp writing and lively performances marked it out as a memorable entry in the indie short film scene.
