Details:

Miscommunication follows Alec, a quiet loner who is obsessed with the girl of his dreams, Grace. Due to a troubled childhood he struggles to communicating with anyone due to a terrible stutter, and instead takes to writing his thoughts and feelings on his typewriter.

When Alec\'s abusive stepfather comes to stay, Alec\'s uncontrollable temper leads him on a downward spiral into oblivion.

Miscommunication is a student film, being made as the Final Major Project at Sheffield Hallam University for our 3rd year. The film will be entered to festivals and competitions across the country. We are looking to film one week during February, both day and night shoots. Auditions will be held early January.

As a student film we are unable to pay a salary, however expenses from those travelling within South Yorkshire will be covered and a copy of the film will be provided for your showreel.
