Info

I'm fascinated by those who exist on the fringes of society. Characters who have slipped through the net. Those for whom, had life dealt its cards differently their lives may have taken another path. I'm interested in how the decisions we make and the education and information that we receive in order to make those decisions, shape our lives. It’s my belief not enough has been done to listen to the reasons behind why, within these affected areas, people feel so strongly about their disengagement. Where this is the case, more can be done to treat the cause rather than the symptoms. We live in a globalised world. Many consider that to be a good thing, but for others it has led to resentment due to the vast changes in their circumstances. For many families a job for life no longer exists and so for those who have followed in the footsteps of their forefathers throughout generations, post industry causes great disenfranchisement. I'm interested how that affects the individual and how it shapes the way they see the world. I've witnessed the affect of this at first hand in terms of what it has done to communities, the loss of jobs and the widening of the gap between rich and poor and the way the North East in particular has changed and become polarised within the last ten years. 34
The film will grip and entertain. It should find beauty and poetry, rather than kitchen sink social realism, making use of symbolism to elevate the form. The tone of the film is tough, but with an underpinning sense of hope. Bleak but beautiful, poetic and life affirming. Never more prominent than when demonstrated through the central characters. The landscape, the design, the palette and photographic language will all compliment this feeling. Using textures to make associations to things we think we recognise, although in this world nothing can be taken for granted. Each element should represent something more than surface value, subtext bubbling underneath. I want to find a location that embodies the themes. A playground for the characters to inhabit, which encourages them to live and breathe their world. They will be authentic to fully utilise the industrial heritage of the North East. Specifically around Redcar Steelworks which embodies this perfectly. Location will be an overbearing character as the actors and camera move from interior to exterior during long single shot sequences, giving a visceral and integral sense of place. 35
