Film Synopsis

When Simon's reclusive behaviour is disrupted by the girl next door, he begins to realise he is not the only one with communication issues.

Simon only wants to be himself but finds he is socially restrained by his Asperger's syndrome. But when Maisy starts writing signs to him from the opposite apartment, he can no longer resort to hiding from the outside world. In the end, he plucks up the courage to meet Maisy and realises he is not the only one who struggles to communicate.

Role

Maisy can’t hear people yet she understands them more clearly than any linguist. She can see right through, hearing more than what they just say. She refuses to allow her disability to restrict any aspect of her life; people are often unaware that she is deaf at all. There is a warmth about her; being incredibly friendly, playful and welcoming to everyone she encounters is natural to her. Her optimism is infectious and although her whole life has been silent, she hasn’t lived it silently.

Note: As this is a student short film, unfortunately the roles will be unpaid however we have a great crew and the roles of Simon and Maisy will be challenging but rewarding. Food and expenses will be covered and you’ll receive a final copy of the film for your portfolio.

Provisional Shooting date: 6th – 25th (less than a weeks filming)

Location: York, United Kingdom
