Magic Fixes (Short film)
A magical shop with a door that no one uses, the customers may never buy a thing, but they always leave feeling that bit more content.
A magical shop with a door that no one uses, with a salesperson who seems to never sell a thing other than quick words and a joke, yet they still give those out freely. The customers may never buy a thing, but they always leave feeling that bit more content. Who is this magical salesperson, who can make brooms sweep up after them and teacups fill themselves? More importantly what do they do when a customer teleports into their shop unimpressed with the salesperson’s desk-bound singing assistant and magic tricks, and instead is more interested in dispensing with their flatmate?
Character: If the First Timer is the before in an advert for a miracle cure, then The Regular is the after, they are friendly, inquisitive and incredibly well-adjusted, the kind of adjustment that could only be achieved after years of therapy. They find fun in everyday life and view The Salesperson as their confidant.
Character Notes: This role underscores a key reveal in the script and serves as an interrogating force towards the end of the narrative. Ultimately, they hold the story together, serving as the conclusion in a story-based lesson of therapy and mindfulness.
