Details:

"Revelations" is a short sci-fi costume drama with influences of Steampunk and Cyberpunk that is being produced by MA Media Production students at Bournemouth University along with students from the Arts University Bournemouth.

It's a Neo-Victorian style love story with Cyberpunk elements, which makes it a Jane Austin-esque costume drama that is more accessible, entertaining and interesting to those who might be more into Sci-Fi, the sub-culture or just curious in general.

Revelations is set in an alternate timeline to our own and in this world, the first World War has never ended and continues on till present day. The story is about our protagonist, Amelia, who has found herself helplessly stuck within the oppressive walls of status fuelled by her authoritarian mother, Jane; her love interest, Cassius, who has recently returned from the war; and his rival, Hugo, the high ranking corporate official whom Jane adores. We follow Amelia as she struggles to satisfy her duty as a daughter as well as her duty to herself and satisfying her own wants and needs.

The film blends a lot of themes that we are familiar with, like love and coming of age, but it’s the aesthetic world and the subtle nuances that the die hard Steampunk and Cyberpunk fans will really enjoy and get excited about. We believe it’s these things that are what really makes Revelations stand out from other aesthetically niche stories and other similarly themed stories.

Roles:
AMELIA ROSE GRAYSON
21 years, Female, Caucasian.

Amelia has just turned 21 and is about to officially emerge into society as a Lady. She is in love with Cassius, but her domineering mother, Jane doesn't approve and has chosen another suitor, Hugo, for her daughter. Amelia is basically a demure girl with a hint of rebelliousness in her.

JANE GRAYSON
46 years, Female, Caucasian.

Jane is Amelia's domineering mother. Her husband is away at war and she is practically the master of the house. Belonging to a high-status family, family name matters more than family itself to Jane. She is in control of everything including who the potential suitor for her young daughter, Amelia, will be.

CASSIUS VERNE
26 years, Male, Caucasian.

Cassius is Amelia's love interest. He is the ideal guy except that not much is known about his family or his background, something that doesn't go down well with with Amelia's mother, Jane. He has also just recently gone AWOL, another reason Jane wants him out of his daughter's life. But in reality, Cassius hides a very big life-changing secret.

ELIZABETH
35 years, Female.

Elizabeth is the Graysons' maid. She is very professional and dedicated, but reality, is not a very big fan of Amelia's mother, Jane. She is one of Amelia's closest friends and confidant and is very protective of her. She also supports Cassius' presence in Amelia's life and sees no problem in their relationship.

HUGO WELLS
25 years, Male, Caucasian.

Hugo is Jane's choice of suitor for Amelia. He has all the characteristics that matter to Jane, rich, successful, famous and from a very reputed family. But he is also pompous, brash, arrogant and full of hot air. He thinks he can have anything and anyone and looks at Amelia as his prized trophy.

CHARLES GRAYSON
50 years, Male, Caucasian.
Charles is Amelia’s father. He is away at war, but ‘brave’ isn’t exactly the adjective you would use to describe him. He would much rather have other people fight his battles for him, quite literally. His involvement in Amelia’s life is rather minimal and he would much rather leave the responsibility of raising his daughter in his wife, Jane’s, hands.
