ABOUT.
You know the thing that parents say? That relationships get in the way of your career?
So David and Matt are two aspiring writers who get together to write their very own film for a festival and cast two actresses for the piece.
But when David and Matt work with Jenny and Kat, the two talented actresses, they all become very close and with a deadline for a film festival approaching, writing from the heart begins to get a new meaning for our two writers.
How did it start?
It’s 2011 – Ben Carlin and Adrian Polglase created an idea – to do a live play mixing live theatre and recorded projection with crossovers and exploitation of music technology in between. Plot ideas were discussed but they ultimately concluded that they couldn’t finance the live piece of theatre. However, the idea was kept alive and after a discussion with Dominic May, APC TV commissioned the idea as a short film.
From March 2011, the script was re-written for film with Adrian and Dom looking for a team and cast for what was the biggest project that APC TV had undertaken since its inception.
THE CAST.
Jenny
Kiryn is a seasoned dramatist. An alumni of the University of Bristol, Kiryn has performed in numerous live performances in the past, including a foreign language German play.
Kiryn plays Jenny who is casted with her friend Kat by David and Matt. As an aspiring actress, she catches the eye of a major casting director who may be able to give her the chance she has wanted for so long.
Kat
Nicky is no stranger to drama. An alumni of both the University of Exeter and National Youth she was recently involved in Gilbert and Sullivan performances.
Nicky plays Kat, one of the casted actresses who is already a good friend of Jenny. Working with David and Matt she gets caught in the headlights, captured by bigger ideas and bigger stage lights and comes to question the things that simply don't add up.
James
Will is a graduate of ALRA and a Playrite theatre veteran. Musical theatre, straight theatre and filmed theatre. Performing in more numbers than you could count, he has gathered a wealth of experience and emotion right under his belt.
Will plays James, a rather sneaky casting director who is both trying to exploit David and Matt's script and Jenny and Kat's hearts.
Matt
Jack is a Playrite veteran, having been heavily involved in both drama and music through his life. Musical theatre, of course, is then something which comes natural.
Jack plays Matt, an aspiring writer and friend of David's, who struggles to come up with an idea to beat his writers block and the deadline before a festival.
David
Adrian is a seasoned actor and graduate of Queen Mary, University of London. Having performed in the Edinburgh Fringe and on London stages, he feels at home in the performance sphere. He is also a co-director of APC TV and has recently held positions at the BBC.
Adrian plays David, Matt's co-writer and acts as the calming and sensible shade to Matt's dynamic nature, but don't be fooled as David finds this front challenged when things don't go quite as scripted.
