It’s an unusual episode this week. Elaine is interviewing our very own Louise Oliver. We get to celebrate one of co-founder’s and their pathway into this industry. We talk Louise’s exciting news her new venture. The launch of her film company Bar Italia Films and it's very first project -
In The Room - a powerful and much needed piece. Which is currently crowding funding and will receive Creative Scotland funding through Crowdmatch, where each unique donation is matched by Creative Scotland. . As this episode goes out, they have made it 90% of their target. If you can help them get to 100 % and get this vital piece of cinema made that would be wonderful. https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/in-the-room
Bar Italia Films – In The Room
OUTLINE:
CAIT travels to a call-back audition for a film. It’s been a while since an opportunity like this one. In the audition room, she gets on brilliantly with SUZANNE (the casting director) and REBECCA (the writer/director), receiving good vibes and positive feedback on her previous reading. It’s a genuinely exciting project. Cait really wants this one. Suzanne announces that they’ve already cast the male lead, and he’s going to be reading with her today. Before they can reveal who it is, he enters - DANNY - hotshot pretty-boy actor, loved by everyone. Everyone except Cait. She hasn’t forgotten her last encounter with Danny, and what she’s been living with ever since.
Unlike everyone else in the room, she sees the predator behind the mask. When they read the scene together, Caits’ fight or flight instinct is triggered. Her trauma tells her to run, but her strength and the opportunity to go off script allows her to fight. With a rage-filled roar of catharsis, the real Danny is exposed, and Cait begins her journey towards healing.
