Title: Going Where?
Storyline: Set in a contemporary urban environment, this independent drama explores themes of desperation, identity, and redemption. At the centre of the story is James, a quietly intelligent but emotionally guarded man who is unemployed and struggling to find his place in the world.
Alongside him is Isla, a sensitive and spiritually searching woman facing her own internal crisis. As their paths intersect, both must navigate their flaws and uncertain futures.
This is a story driven by subtle intensity and emotional realism, with layered characters in a slow-burn narrative that unpacks the messiness of modern life, relationships, and personal reckoning.
This is a strong opportunity for actors who enjoy character-driven storytelling, naturalistic performance, and working on meaningful indie cinema
