Discussed: A Break (RM screenplay)
A Break is a fifteen minute short film screenplay written by Rory, who's not quite made it to Fas yet, but will, I am sure. It tells the story of one John, a presumed private detective in Dublin on the case of a missing girl. Yet as the plot progresses, it becomes clear that things are not as they seem, and John must face up to his worst enemy: his past.
As a reading, it was a shame we had only a single copy, but I felt we gave it a good go all the same. There were questions of tone here too: would the film noir element be pushed beyond the norms to heighten the sense of confusion at John's situation, or would it remain realistic? How much would things be brought into contrast with devices like colour and saturation, and by the characters? An email to Rory follows and if I get a reply, I'll bang it up.
