Ben Aston’s RUSSIAN ROULETTE has taken the Grand Jury Prize at this year’s Disposable Film Festival. In Aston’s 5-minute movie, a lonely London woman meets a cosmonaut in space for a chatroulette encounter. The film is funny, sad, romantic and insightful—all in the space of five minutes. There are stunning performances by the leads Bec Hill and  Steward Lockwood, along with memorable micro-performances by a seemingly never ending stream of losers.

According to the filmmaker, RUSSIAN ROULETTE was made for less than 50 pounds. To see how it was done, here’s an informative behind-the-scenes video:

Earlier, Aston’s movie was an Official Selection at Sundance and the Winner of the Jury Prize at the Sundance London Competition.
