1 Male Actor & 2 Female Actors required for Film Shoot in Dublin.
The Writer is a 6 min Short Film. A comic fantasy. It explores how the world of the imagination can sometimes collide with the more humdrum nature of reality.
Brief Synopsis:
Dave and his friend Mary are having coffee in a café. Dave strikes up a conversation with Kate, sitting nearby.
Kate tells Dave about the novel she is writing. Dave’s overactive imagination now takes over – and he begins to see himself as the hero in the novel. The audience sees his ‘interpretation’ of the story on the screen.
A final twist in the tale brings Dave firmly back to reality. He learns how the imagination can play tricks on us. And perhaps he is looking for love in the wrong places.
FILM ROLES:
Dave: (late 20’s/Early 30’s)
Mary: (late 20’s/Early 30’s)
