Trigger Points

Synopsis: 

The world had changed. Streets day by day were filled with protest. The unemployed. The lost. Chaos. Then something happened.

Something though it had no name had arrived. Fear. Fear over took rationale. The streets became empty.

The liberal ideal had become something unrecognisable.

The new age of reliance had begun. The reliance on power. The reliance on comfort. On certainty.

Something had happened. But nobody knew what. Until now.

Information for the Audience: 

Hi there

Welcome to Trigger points. The film you are about to watch took 6 years to make. We never cut corners on filming by using 16mm, 35mm and 4k. We wanted to create authenticity for her living space by building the set. The film including voice overs, effects and Foley were mixed at Pinewood.

Both Nigel and I did most of the tasks ourselves. I directed, wrote, produced, acted and scored all the tracks whilst Nigel was the director of photography, camera operator, editor and colour grader.

The reason why such effort was made was because we felt the story matters. That the main character matters. In a time of great unease we wanted to look at the themes of ideology and technology.

I hope you enjoy it.
