Synopsis
"Kay's compulsive property viewing becomes a problem when a supernatural estate agent forces her to start a new life in an empty house" A short film written in response to Mann-Booker Prize winner Marieke Lucas Rijneveld's original short story of the same title. Both pieces commissioned by writing platform Alexander alxr.com/ The process behind this film was an unusual, but very stimulating one. I was asked to make a film to exist as a companion piece for Marieke's new story, but rather than simply adapting it for screen I was invited to interpret & reimagine it in whatever way I wished. This freedom allowed for a really interesting creative process and has lead to an outcome where we have two brand new, wholly distinct stories that are nonetheless unmistakably close cousins- sharing a huge amount of creative and thematic DNA. After you watch the film I encourage you to read Marieke's story- it's great, and you might enjoy exploring the crossover of the two things.
