FITTING ROOM
One day, ten people - how do they all connect?
ONE DAY, TEN PEOPLE - HOW DO THEY ALL CONNECT? OUR CHARACTERS INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER IN THE BUILD UP TO A GIG THEY ALL ATTEND, THROUGH VHS FLASHBACKS WE UNVEIL WHAT HAS HAPPENED BETWEEN THEM. FITTING ROOM IS AN EXPERIMENTAL SHORT THAT PLAYS WITH THE COMING-OF-AGE GENRE. UNLIKE MOST COMING-OF-AGE TALES, NO STORY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANOTHER AND NO ONE IS THE NARRATIVE FAVOURITE. IT AIMS TO UNIFY THOSE WATCHING THROUGH THE MEMORY OF FEELING, NOT THE SPECIFICITY OF EXPERIENCE. EACH CHARACTER IS GOING THROUGH THEIR OWN DIFFICULTY WITH GROWING-UP BUT FITTING ROOM HIGHLIGHTS HOW NO ONE DOES THIS ALONE AND HOW WE LEARN FROM EACH OTHER CAN AT TIMES BE THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSONS OF ALL.
