A Note from the
director: Making a film is like making a cake. You collect
all the ingredients (filming) you mix them together (editing) and
then you put it in the owen. When I met Guy Farley, his sheer
enthusiasm for the project convinced me that he had an affinity to
the material. His score was to become the icing on the cake. My long
discussions with Guy lead us to belive that the music had to reflect
the ups and downs of the narrative but more than that, push it
further. Sometimes play against the action (as in the epic track for
the goal attempt during the pathetic football match) or increase the
hypnotic effect (when Ben tries to stop time with Sharon in the
locker room) of a sleepless world. But all the time maintaining the
themes of certain scenes or characters through out. The final result
is something I'm very proud of as it underlines the emotions that I
wanted to convey. It is with immesurable thanks to Guy Farley
who was tireless in his pursuit of the perfect icing and to his
support team of Adrian Thomas and Ben Georgiades.
Plot Summary: When art student Ben Willis dumps his girlfriend
Suzy, he develops insomnia after finding out how quickly she moved
on. To pass the long hours of the night, he starts working the late
night shift at the local supermarket. There he meets a colorful cast
of characters, all of whom have their own 'art' in dealing with the
boredom of an eight-hour-shift. Ben's art is that he imagines
himself stopping time. This way, he can appreciate the artistic
beauty of the frozen world and the people inside it - especially
Sharon, the quiet checkout girl, who perhaps holds the answer to
solving the problem of
Ben's
insomnia.
