Charlie Productions : Crowd Scene For Existentialists
1998, 7mins, S16mm.
The peaceful philosophising of Jean and Ruth is disturbed by Paul who
wants to post a letter, causing all three to question the name of reality.
Premiered At The Edinburgh International Film Festival in 1998 this
utterly delightful five minute spiral of exisitential absurdity has also been
shown at OMSK, The Big Chill, The Portobello Film Festiva and The Grenoble Open
Air Festival Of Short Film.
For all manner of reasons we consider this to be our first proper piece of
film making. We were both still teenagers when we made it and there is a vitality
and a happiness that comes across in every frame. So what if some of the cuts
are a little scary? The glee with which the three characters throw their daft
ideas around makes this still one of the most uncomplicatedly fun films we've
made.
The sound track also features a superb recording of our friends Matt Cartwright
and Richard York discussing politics, economics and the Vietnam war whilst stoned
off their tits. Special.

Charlie Productions believe passionately in doing things and always trying to stop in
time for tea.
