THURSDAY

SHORT FILM  |  Produced July 2005  |  Shooting Gauge: 35mm  |  Duration: 4 minutes

Thursday is a regular day – a day like any other, until something happens to Jack.  Something terrible.  Jack has made a horrible mistake and now the fear of the consequences begin to envelop him. We watch as Jack rewinds the events, retraces, back-steps – figures out how he got to where he is.

Told in one shot, in slow motion and in reverse, Thursday was a technically and artistically challenging production.   It was produced as part of a series for the Shootout Film Festival, Newcastle, each film named after a day of the week.
