Gracie thought her life was over, but destiny had other plans…
2am. Waterloo bridge. Despairing Gracie stumbles onto the bridge, intent on jumping in the river. However, when Ellie, (17), runs headlong into her, in fear for her life from a Man chasing her from the other side, destiny gives both a chance. Shocked out of her despair, Gracie helps Ellie, and they run to the back streets, and think they’re safe. Alas, those chasing Ellie do not give-up, however none realise another Man has also arrived who covertly shadows everyone.
‘Sometimes, saving the life of another might be the only way to save your own’
‘Gracie’ is a magi-real, urban-myth tale, set over one dark, tense, oddly whimsical, ironic night, which will challenge the Girls to their limits. Set against the dramatic, night skylines of Waterloo Bridge, and in an old cargo boat by Battersea Power Station, ‘Gracie’ has a grainy, strongly retro look, and a dreamlike story book feel, and a vivid heartbeat all it’s own.
‘Gracie’ was my feature debut, and shot on super 16mm film, which for the micro budget was tough but worth it. Due to the difficult sound conditions along the Thames, it also has a mainly post production created audio, a big achievement considering budget, and massive thanks to everyone involved. It has a wonderful, evocative score and the super 16mm format, using a lot available light, gives ‘Gracie’, an atmospheric, buttery feel.
Gracie was made with the help of an amazing skeleton crew, who reached for the stars but on Earth, stayed the course! Some of Gracie’s cast are:
Chris Rankin (played Percy Weasely in the Harry Potter films). Darren Darnborough, (Magnum, McGyver) Angela Peters, (Emmerdale), and Lexi Strauss, Holby City, Casualty). A quirky, surreal suspense tale, ‘Gracie’ is about, how even in our modern, brutal world, faith, forgiveness and love still triumph over fear and violence, sometimes in unexpected ways.
Gracie’s score is by Tandis Jenhudson (‘The March’, ‘Civilizations’ (BBC). Tandis was also a ‘BAFTA Breakthrough Brit in 2014’.
