Mind's Eye

“You look like my son’s friend. Did you know my son Adam?”
“Sorry, I’m not from around here.”
“That’s a shame. He died about a year ago.”…

That conversation seriously happened to me a few years ago. How do you respond to something like that? But that conversation sparked an idea, which I turned into a short film called Mind’s Eye.

It played at a few small film festivals; West Side Shorts, Hardiman’s Film Festival and South West Film Festival. And in May/June this year it played on the program Dark Carnival on Foxtel’s Aurora Channel and Anthology of Interest on Channel 31. Which was pretty exciting but I wanted to do something more with the idea.

That’s when I started developing my short film into a 200+ page OGN. I’m currently writing the 2nd draft which is taking a lot longer then I first thought, but hopefully it’ll be finished in a month or two so I can start approaching potential artists. Fingers crossed.
