This project has currently been put on the back burner as filming under COVID restrictions would compromise the project too much. This live-action Drama is an incredibly interesting story crafted by Zoe Jones, my input on the script was less narrative and more how to make what she already had on the page as impactful as possible. Such as fusing a few scenes together to make sure there was no 'excess weight' but was as tight as can be. Saving certain character revelations and plot developments to be shown in one climax instead of two means that especially for a Short Film it can stay short and sweet; also having the protagonist in a vulnerable position during this reveal makes sure that interesting things aren't just happening but are happening in an interesting way with our hero in potential peril.
Also, I focused on condensing the story for practicality when it comes to shooting - such as stylising the lifetime montage to clearly convey the same amount of story whilst being kinder to the budget as well as it now being a more light-hearted sequence which improves the pacing.
