Tue, 12 Apr 2005, 04:14 pm'Family Tree'
Written and Directed by Nathaniel Brown
Produced by Thomasine Warmington
'To be a good parent, sometimes you have to act like a child'
Remember a time when you were a child and you could spend an entire grey
winter's afternoon playing in the back yard, bound only by your own imagination.
A time when anything could be a toy – when a stick was a gun, a shovel, a lightsabre;
and when a stately old oak tree could be your best friend. Now it is thirty years later,
and you have 'put away childish things' – you are an adult, a parent, trying now
to form a bond with your own child. And the only way you
can do this is to recapture the magic of your childhood imagination.
This is the premise of 'Family Tree', where David, a thirty year-old divorcee,
struggles to connect with his son, Adam. The catalyst for this is a withered
old oak tree that David used to love when he was a child, and that Adam
discovers during the course of the film. The child's imagination creates a
character out of the tree, in much the same way that David himself did as a
child. And when David starts to recall his own memories, this serves as the
bridge he needed to get into the mind of his son and learn to understand him.
The film is an exploration of the idea that while a parent's love is automatic
and unconditional, actually getting to know and understand your children takes work.
CAST:
David- Early 30's, Clean Cut
Adam- Young child, around 6 or 7
Edna- Early 60's, intelligent, pragmatic grandma.
We are currently casting for a pilot scene (to be shot end of April) and
looking to cast for the full production (August)
Please contact Thomasine (Producer) for more information, or to book an
audition- thomasinew@hotmail.com
CREW ROLES:
There are plenty of minor crew roles available if anyone is interested. We
can accomodate your expertise, and interest. This is an invaluable
opportunity for those wishing to break into the film industry, and will be an
addition to your show reel.
Please contact Thomasine (Producer) for more information, or to discuss a
possible crew role.- thomasinew@hotmail.com
