This is Me – A very personal project, inspired by real events in my life played out by London actors Anna Keeble and Stanislas Torikian. Shot in 7 hours at a frantic pace but helped by advanced planning, script, and storyboard and brought in just over budget. My thanks to everyone’s help and support during this time.
Shot entirely on location in London in a boutique hotel Suite on Sony XDCAM HD.
A brief synopsis of the plot
Have they just met? I think so, but only in person. Their spirits appear to have met before and feel a connection. What brought them into this intimate setting, and an even more intimate conversation, we may never know. Perhaps a fleeting glimpse across a lonely lobby. Just a split-second feeling of connection - not a jolt, but a soft touch, a caress. A feeling, knowing that behind those eyes is someone special. But am I special enough?
Halted, awkward initial words slowly fade away as the conversation goes on. Someone takes a chance and offers a more intimate setting, and waits, terrified of the answer, but too lonely not to ask.
The answerer, scared and lonely, not knowing the other feels the same way, wants to answer yes, but is scared of the facade crumbling. Did I really just meet him/her here? Now? "Yes."
Names, ages, occupation - minor details. The real question is...Can you love? Can you accept love? Will you break my heart and leave me alone and scared?
Life is so hard, and this video made me think about what is important. Feeling a connection with someone is important, happiness is important, love is important.
