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. Thursday is about that moment of grief, regret, confusion, fear and shock - that moment that follows those events that will change your life forever.
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.
