The Speaker

SYNOPSIS

‘The Speaker’ is an experimental short film that explores the space between documentary and narrative.  

The actor, Carole Patullo will respond to a series of architectural spaces that show the stages of constructing a room. Her performance will react to these changing spaces to form the structure of the film.

Carole will go through a series of repetive takes until her natural instincts and the written script align. A critical point is reached when she is caught between performing in a film and experiencing the set in one instantaneous moment.
