A student grad film, being shot between 23rd November and 4th December. All expenses paid
The film is to be shot on super 16mm. The majority of shooting will be in studio at UCA Farnham (surrey) with the remainder on location in London.
The film is about a 25-35 year-old man living in a block of flats in London. The main character is alienated from those around him, living alone yet striving to understand and interact with those with which he shares his surroundings. He has an extra faculty beyond that of normal human experience; at night, alone in his flat, the walls of his bedsit become transparent and he sees those in the flats surrounding him living their lives. Burdened by the information he is privy to, he is torn by whether to act on what he witnesses or whether to keep himself to himself.
We are a very professional group who have had success with previous productions at festivals and have high hopes for the film.
Location: All regions, United Kingdom
Payment details: expenses paid
Note: All minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
