Films of mine - Mothers Dream 2010

Hello,

This will hopefully be the first in a series of short films/clips I will be making and posting onto my blog. So please take a couple of minutes to take a little look.

The story:

Its fairly ambiguous what the story of this film is actually about, however I hope that you will understand it to be a tale about a lonely mothers anticipation of her son's homecoming.

The story behind the story:

Before making this short I hadn't made any films for about 2, possibly 3, years, so was a little intrigued as to what I would come out with this time round. All I knew was that I wanted to create something for the upcoming Warrington Film Festival and that I wanted to do a modern take on the silent film.
        As I had no budget, no actors, no crew and was restricted to Warrington as a location I realized that through my lack of options gave me no choice but to film something at my mothers house, and also use myself and my mother as the protagonists.

So here it is, I hope you enjoy. If it confuses you in any way, just tell yourself that it's 'deliberately ambiguous'. Thats what I did in the moments where I doubted the clarity of its meaning:
