SOME NOTES

PSYlence was shot in Edinburgh during my MSc. The script follows the pattern of my previous film, Black Tie and I think I like it the most.

 

A Canon XL1s camcorder was used for the shooting. The film was actually made as an "exercise" with just a few equipment, amateur cast and mainly inexperienced crew members. It was rather interesting for me to shoot in a Edinburgh not only for the differenet production needs I encountered but the specific scent of the city, even in indoor locations. 

SYNOPSIS

Fast food, fast jobs, fast sex, fast life. A whole world stays alert. And you are expected to endure, to suffer, to survive. And when you are about to collapse, there is someone to provide an instant release to your pain, to your tears, to your secrets. An immediate psychotherapy, a role game or the getaway need?

 

Unofficially, Andy works for a parapsycological company while officially he is the best way to calm people down when Prozac doesnt sort them out. He never reveals his identity. He goes to meetings pretending to be somebody else, pretending to be the character, the client has asked for. In the end, despite his professional approach, he feels himself tearing apart. Pretending to be a God does not necessarily make you a God.
