Tallulah Green - BA (Hons) Filmmaking
UNDER THE RUG
As writer and director of Under the Rug I aimed to tell a complex story of loneliness and companionship, I wanted to use surreal themes and subject matter to discuss the difficult topic of loneliness, particularly in older people. With this film I tried mixing contemporary American Horror themes with elements of classic British game shows and television to create a unique story. I intended for the audience to feel a false sense of security through the familiarity of the recognisable, cosy British set and characters. I found this to make the impact of Albert’s situation a lot more surprising, as well as helpful in letting audiences experience the film through Albert’s perspective.
