searching

HD/35mm, 110mins, colour, 2004

synopsis

fecund films first production is "Searching". Adapted from the stage play "Hello You", it is an ambitious debut feature - a multi stranded, ensemble piece about thirty-something's love, life and relationships - in short, a British "Magnolia". Set against a backdrop of contemporary London and Brighton, it is a character driven, ensemble piece exploring the coming of age for the 21st century. The narrative unfolds as the main characters' stories intertwine. It's a comedy about the emotional landscape of a generation growing up to realise that there is an unbridgeable gap between the person they might have been and the person they are.
