SIRENS

SYNOPSIS

A modern-day interpretation of 'Lord of the Flies', set within the confines of a parked car over the course of a day.

When her mum doesn’t return from the store, Katie sits in a locked car on the top floor of a multi-storey car park. Her younger brother and his friend sit in the back seat, their faces are bruised as they look in disbelief at the bullies at the end of the car park.

Without an authoritive figure, the initial buzz of freedom quickly wears off as tensions rise and conflicts ingnite within the car.

The bullies constantly testing the kids from outside, testing how close they can get, testing what they can do to them.

Katie thrives on the lack of restrictions, dictating the activities and stratergies within the car. The two boys are stuck between two evils, confront their bullies or over-power Katie?

Concerned solely with the activity inside and directly outside the car, the kids fail to notice that they could merely be pawns in a much bigger game.

After a break-out role in the final Harry Potter film, and several student shorts, Ben has begun preparation for 'Sirens'.

"The idea of three kids stuck inside a car, and in particular, the interaction between them as time passed, is intriguing. So I read the script and was enthralled. Here's to a great shoot!"
