FILMS OF MINE - THE HANGOVER 2006

Hello,

Welcome to my blog and here is the 3rd video in my series 'Films of mine'.

The story:
The premise of this story is quite simple: a young man wakes up with a big hangover. The clip charts his journey from bed to the toilet. Easier than it sounds. oooooooooooooooooh.

The story behind the story:

This film was quite autobiographical at the time. As a student, like many, my life was characterised by alcohol, and the consumption of it. Lots of it. All the time. My hangovers were very bad, particularly towards the end of my university days. Knowing that my drama degree was not going to offer much support in the 'real world' of 'council tax' and 'work' my feeling of utter helplessness caused intense psycological hangovers. They have been comically represented in this film. I suppose you could call this an example of creative therapy.
