Change provides a captivating and curious insight into my off-screen work as a writer.

Change

Directed by: Louis Brough. Written by: Emily Turrini. Story by Louis Brough & Emily Turrini. 2017 Entry into the 60-hour Colchester Film Festival by Scarlett Light Media.

This short swashbuckling film pays homage to those Hollywood classics that starred Marlon Brando (Mutiny on the Bounty) and, Errol Flynn & Maureen O’Hara (Against All Flags).

Emily collaborated with us to produce a short pirate film for a competition. Over the course of a weekend we had to write, shoot and edit this film based on an outline given to us by the organisers. Emily bought a real passion for this genre as well as historical knowledge to develop our story further. She gave us the first draft, which ticked all the boxes. Following our feedback she delivered a workable script that fitted our theme and intentions within the very small time window that we had. Her insight was very useful but her desire to create a strong female character was priceless to the project.
