OUDF502: Guest Speaker Susan Everett



We recently had a guest speaker come to one of our PPP sessions to speak to us about scriptwriting. Though scriptwriting isn't my focus, I found the advice she gave us really important, in fact, she was one of the best guest speakers we've had.

Susan showed us the film she she had previously written and directed in 2008 called 'Mother, Mine'. The film is about a young woman who is grieving the death of her adoptive mother, trying to track down her natural mother to find a replacement 'mum', she sends out a videotape as an introduction. But her intentions are not as straightforward as they may seem. 

The film was really intriguing and and the story was captivating, at a costly fee of £21,000 the short drama delivers a disturbing thriller with great acting and cinematography.
