In-Between
Starring: Barry Martin and Stephanie Leonidas
A lonely old man´s home is suddenly invaded by a troubled teenage girl, seeking shelter from a violent world outside. The old man is reluctant to help her at first, but soon realises she has given him a new purpose in life. Unfortunately the world she ran away from is catching up with her fast and a difficult choice has to be made.
This was a second attempt at telling a story about a girl trapped in drug dealing and prostitution. But on both ocassions I was reluctantly encouraged to tone down the violence by my peers, turning Talk To Me and In-Between into more gentle and moving films. Although it was my most praised film by tutors at the NFTS, for me it was the least fulfilling.
