One of the key short/feature combos that inspired this year’s “Dynamic Duos” theme, INFERNAL AFFAIRS and THE DROP IN are a made-in-heaven pairing of highly stylized, impressively choreographed thrillers about secret identities and even more secret loyalties. In the Hong Kong cult classic INFERNAL AFFAIRS (the inspiration for Martin Scorsese's Boston-set THE DEPARTED), a mole in the police department and an undercover cop chase each other through a high adrenaline game of cat-and-mouse across the city.

Picking up on the themes of rivalry and intrigue, first-time filmmaker Naledi Jackson's slickly choreographed short film THE DROP IN tells the unique story of two African-Canadian secret agents who come head to head in a Scarborough hair salon, where only one of them will make it out alive.
