Text me when you get home | short Film
A digital theatre / short film hybrid piece, written & performed by Molly Thorne and directed by Archie Rowell.
‘Jen’s just had to cover Bella’s shift- she’s been working for 13 hours, it’s now 11:32pm and she’s back in for 7am. The bus isn’t coming for another hour. She can’t afford a taxi. Jen has to walk home.’
This was my first real venture into shooting a long-take project. The film is split into two halves, the first in a theatre space and the second being a night exterior in Bristol. We shot each half as a single, continuous take on my RS3 Pro, with the aid of a Ready Rig for the Bristol shoot. The film started its festival run in January 2023 and is set for an online release later this year.
