'Communicate This' is a short, dryly inverse and violent black comedy about misspent youth and communication.
Focusing on the lead character and his friend, mocking and reminiscing about their youth, they start to day dream about the indelible experiences they had as boys and wonder what became of their old enemies.
As the two take time out to relax in the park, they soon become confronted by a gang of their old enemies. Still stuck in their ways and more aggressive than their former youthful counterpart personas. The two leads find themselves locked in a pathetic and violent confrontation which will inevitably lead to a bloody and violent outcome, or will it?
As the narrative deals with identity, youth-childhood, adulthood and loss of personal indemnity, it will become visually apparent through the use of handheld video cameras and mobile phones. The latter being the driving component to which the film will eventually reveal itself to be all about.
The film carries a very dark and twisted sense of humor of which is carried by crude and violently bloody visuals via flashbacks/forwards. The film itself will have a very guerilla type feel, so as to add the required edge and look appropriate to the nature of the films narrative.
Once all cast are picked, all will be contacted regarding shoot dates. Of which will be taking place during August - September 2012.
All cast and crew members will be credited and will receive an edited copy of the short film on DVD - due January 2013.
Please, serious candidates only. This project will only take one week, provided you apply yourself with the acumen needed.
