The life of a filmmaker is an interesting one. You either spend most of your time attending back to back meetings or simply doing nothing. I don't like either one of those...I simply prefer to daydream or read. I am always interested to see what other filmmakers are doing out there, I need them as they are my source of inspiration. I admire every single one of them from those who have made 30 films to someone who has completed one short. The more filmmaker are out there, the more voices we have. I find it to be the most powerful tool we have as artists and public interllectuals as what we create has the potential to change how others think and how we see ourselves and those around us. Thats what I hope my new short 'The low dweller' will achieve.
Here is a synopsis:
Upon arriving back from self imposed exile, lacking ambition and seeking a job, Jacques ( Brett Kyd) gets embroiled in a situation that potentially puts his life and those around him in danger. After his seemingly innocent encounter with Nick ( Johnathan Tiffilin)leaves him reaching within an inch of his life, Jacques faces huge life altering decisions about his existance which he is reluctant to make,until he meets Sam (Julia Wilson) who teaches him the simple values of life and offers him what he seeks the most: acceptance.
This is a coming of age story about Jacques and his painfull transition from teenage adolescence into manhood. This story deals with challenging issues of a journey into finding one's place in society. Themes abouts exuality, love, redemption, fate and finding solace in human interaction are explored. This film has a huge educational element and deals with universal themes and social issues.
