In the Crease: Self-referential Storytelling in Ted Wilson's 'Under the Cover of Cloud'

A witty cinematic metatext that revels in ambiguity and interpretation, Under the Cover of Cloud stars its director as an author in search of both his next big project and an almost-mythologised hero. What unfolds is a skilfully reflexive portrait of a man, his family, their beloved sport and the town they live in – plus the act of filmmaking itself, writes Leah Jing.
