Broken Bird (Short film)
Short comedy : "A concerned and loving daughter tries to set her disabled mother up with a taciturn woman met at work."
This project has already recieved the support of Bristol Pride.
“Broken Bird” gives the spotlight to an underrepresented community : women over fifty years old. I have always wondered what dating must be like when you get older, how different it must be from your twenties with your life experiences and the maturity you acquire.
We do know that life doesn’t stop at forty years old. You can still travel, dream, change career. All of these things take courage and perseverance. But what about dating?
Through this story, written with the help of women telling their personal stories, I wanted to show how strong women are, and mainly, how okay it is to be on your own. Not everyone dreams of being in a relationship, and if they do, it is as the cherry on the cake : a beautiful bonus added to their life, not a necessity to be able to reach happiness.
Women over fifty should be given more light, and more stories, because they are strong, they lived and know what they want and what they don’t want. They dare, but in a different way. They have so much to say and teach.
For a new production, we are looking for a producer.
"A broken Bird" is a short comedy, written by myself and produced by Blue Metaphor Ltd. This will be our second film production.
It is a queer story, portraying the difficulties in dating in your fifties, but also the strength women have in being on their own.
Filming will be over one day (TBC) in Bristol. We do hope to film in December/January, and we are planning a screening for February.
We work as a team, and we understand that everyone has their own commitments. We believe in helping each other out to make sure everyone is happy. We do everything we can to make sure all crew members get something out of the production, either experience, skills or sometimes, just a good time!
We encourage applications from under-represented communities and groups, and we encourage applications from beginners looking for experience.
