Looking for a producer for a drama short - Éad
Budget: £20,000 – £50,000 GBP
I'm looking for a producer to help develop a drama short film.
Ideally, you should have strong screenwriting skills, an eye for casting, and an understanding of shooting logistics.
Ead offers a candid portrayal of the challenges and complexities of modern relationships, delving in to the darker side of human nature as characters grapple with jealousy, betrayal and redemption. It’s a story about toxic relationships.
Rowan goes to a wedding with his wife and who’s there? The guy she slept with behind his back. Tortured by the sight of them together, laughing and joking and confides in his close friend Odi. As the night wears on, he gets closer to Odi, why aren’t they together we think, they’d be a perfect match! EMMA his wife notices their connection and gets progressively more jealous. What does Rowan do? Nothing good! He doesn’t communicate his feelings, he doesn’t work things through. He’s a typical millennial guy, he buries the problem, he flirts and forgets. In a climactic scene on the roof of the wedding venue, he passionately kisses Odi, creating a confusing mess. In a hurry, he has to rush down stairs to photograph a cake cutting that he promised he would and Emma gets the message. She confronts him, whilst he snaps a few pictures, she whispers in his ear “I know you know” and “I looked through your phone” - his eyes widen and we realise - This isn’t Rowan’s first rodeo. His wife leaves the party, Rowan runs after her but she’s gone… probably forever. He gets progressively more drunk. Odi and Rowan stumble out and fumble to a hotel for a drunken night of fun.
It’s not fun though is it? He’s a mix of shame, confusion and regret and it takes him until he’s mid sex until he cracks in spectacular fashion. Rowan holds his face, tears burst out of his eyes, a quiet desperate sound coming from his covered mouth. He apologises and it’s desperate and that’s where our film draws to a close.
It’s a story about toxic masculinity and miscommunication. The characters should talk about their issues and resolve them in a healthy way but they do anything but that, instead they’re spiteful and vengeful, cheating on each other behind each other’s backs and exchanging passive aggressive jabs to wound and to wield power over the other until it all comes crashing down.
With this film, I want to apply for this round of BFI funding and so the producer should not have produced a feature film with distribution. I’ve also written the script and will direct.
The producer will be paid from the budget of this film and will be responsible for helping draft the budget.
About me, I am an award winning film and TV editor, my notable credits are Dreaming Whilst Black, Stath Lets Flats and The Flatshare for Paramount+.
