Programme Title: Left and Right

Director/Camera Operator: Mark Kipling

duration: Approx 10 minutes

Audience: The initial audience will be the general public voting for their favourite shorts in the public vote before the end submission date (July 23rd) But ultimately the main audience I need to impress consists of the Bigstar.tv panel of judges who will view the video with an open mind to any genre of film as the Amateur competition is open to any type of film the contestants come up with.

Story Resume:
Local construction budget supervisor Michael Cole finds himself slowly spiralling downhill after an attack leaves him without a penny to his name. Once the new job opening is filled by the same man tormenting Michael, paranoia and a sickening lust for revenge takes over, and immediately, the clear line between what is going on in the real world and the events taking place within Michael's own mind become blurred and almost unrecognisable.


Character Resume:

Michael Cole - Daniel Glynn
Beaten in the street and tormented mentally as new man Bradley Weschoth tortures him for all he has.

Bradley Wescotch - Lewis-Dane Fry
Gains the new position as head budget manager on the new construction project in the area at Jacobs' firm. One reason Bradley is so quickly hired is because of his financial success, but where is it coming from? Michaels' pockets, is where.

Jacob - Harry Gee-Woolley
The overall overseer of the budget, making sure it doesn't collapse in on the project. Doesn't play a large roll, but as Michael delves further into his imagination and secret, sick desires of an outcome, it raises the question whether or not Jacob is leeching off Bradleys' financial gain.
