Divided Together
Divided Together - Short Film
Divided Together is dystopian political satire set in an alternate United Kingdom that echoes the current post truth era. The film follows the leader of the ideologically ambiguous Progress Party as they prepare for the launch of a new set of policies dubbed ‘The New Way.’ The film follows The Leader as he move between various simulated environments and goes behind the spectacle of politics. This absurd narrative exists in a decontextualized world, in attempt to subvert universal power structures.
As part of the narrative class I have shown some of the starting material for this proposed film, that I am currently working on. Within the class we collectively critiqued the work. The general consensus was that my script was boring and lacks character development, which i accept. I feel this is fair assessment and I intend to work on the script more over the Christmas holidays in collaboration with my friend who I wrote the first draft with. This project is something I intend to work on for a long period of time until it's of a standard worth filming.
