Prawn by Ella Carey
www.ellamcarey.com/
"The initial concept for the film was inspired by my own first kiss experience. I was 15 at the time. It wasn’t until I was in my late twenties that I realised it was inappropriate and unwanted and how much it had impacted me and my understanding of sex and romantic relationships. Up until this point I had never really considered it as a non-consensual thing…teenagehood is so sticky and murky. I was protected in my childhood by my parents and in my twenties I knew what my boundaries were and right from wrong - I had confidence and an understanding by then. But in my teen years, it was so difficult to navigate consent. So at the point I knew I wanted to make a film about consent and I felt like the most simple iteration of that memory was the best way to do it. I wanted to engage an audience that had experienced those same feelings of shame and guilt in similar situations, on both sides of an incident like that. I am obsessed with teenage perspective focused content and stories, it’s such a devastating and heartbreaking time in our lives. Everything is so heightened and extreme, we just struggle so much with identity. I really wanted to capture that crippling theft of innocence that so many of us have experienced in a zoo-like high-school setting."

Fantastic short film from start to finish. Sharing on The Awesomer.
This is a wonderful dramatisation of HPL' s short story. Excellent in every way!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Ahhhhh the historical “handing down” of the merapeak jacket. Would bring a tear to a glass eye. In all seriousness though I used to love the Young Team days.
Lay off the drugs and you wont geek out so hard
No such thing as a truly private get together when it looms to be in a public park. Want it to be private? Go host it in your backyard.
Ehh, if you pay to reserve the space though.
@@rayw1100still a public park.
i like that you put in a rickyism
Very nice style, tone, and look! Great work by the production designer and cinematographer. Big thanks for shooting it on film! And please, somebody, take Mr. Schwartz to the higher echelons of Hollywood, we're missing out on such good acting.
His performance really is magnificent here.
How does this not have thousands of views this is so well made
It could be because the title of the video doesn't cater to TH-cam's algorithms. I've had to basically search the entire title in order to even find this outside of it being shared to me through close friends who were involved in the film.
Thanks for putting in the effort to watch 🔥
Weird, and the funniest line 4:11 "...my mother always said I need to learn to be myself, but see, that's like the only thing people don't like about me"
So many gems in this script
What a strange and great film! The final “dedicated to” really got me
It's a toe-curling gem, thanks for watching!
0:24 Sweetheart, your body isn't incorrect, your haircut is. 😁
<3
Powerful. Deserves way more views.
Thanks, glad it resonated with you.
😮❤❤❤
get into it
You can watch the full film now at th-cam.com/video/oBJeC227ziI/w-d-xo.html
Watching this as an American without subtitles…so they don’t speak English in Scotland?🤣
Very nicely done ! Great atmosphere 💕👍
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Ok. Who ever wrote this script is Dark. Nice attempt to normalize pedophilia. Hurting children will never be ok. This topic ruins this whole film.
WOAH
What the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
🗡
Can't wait to see this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it just me, or does this look like it might be really good?
It is! Only 1 week until the premiere...
Spectacular!
Powerful storytelling! ❤
Good luck to her, she's lovely.
I need a feature length in need the whole story please just like this but in total
David has a feature on the way, although not set in this world: "I have another short, We Used to Own Houses that will be out soon. I am writing my debut feature film Colossus which is produced by Julia Corcoran with Michele Bennett as Executive Producer." directorsnotes.com/2024/05/06/david-robinson-smith-mud-crab/
The microexpressions from these actors are really good. The confession part looks realistic
💯
The dialog feels like an internal monolog being externalized...should be quite uncomfortable and crazy making...let's do this!
She'll never stop thinking about it. No matter what kind of armor she puts on for the world she'll never escape it; she's already wounded. People (normal people) are built with empathy; its what keeps most of us from doing cruel things like that to others. She did it and she laughed with her friends but inside she knew what a shitty thing she had took part in. She should have apologized when she had the chance, now she's stuck with it.
You can see her wrestle with it in Laneikka Denne's beautifully nuanced performance
I can get behind this. I'm already beside it.
I REALY LIKE TO SEE THAT BEAUTIFUL GIRL LOVABLE
Can I get a Friend Proxy Owen pls?
Love it, wish you the best man! 👍
We don't get to chose our heaven... or hell.
One does not choose his hell...Avoid. Abstain. Suffer. Stay Safe, Stay Sane.
Im a Geese Goose
A Most Difficult Admission - especially to a friend. BUT what happens if the friend gets in a big argument/fight with Chris and decides to get even by calling the police?
It's a film that successfully leaves you with so much to think about
Cool!
hell yeah
You cant love others if you cant love yourself. Find hobbies and goals first. Succeed a little. Keep your room clean.
Looks interesting
Akiket meggyőztek a saját igazságuk ellenében,azok már a vödörben vannak. 🦀🪣Egészen addig jól is érezheti magát,amíg meg nem főzik. Ha kívülről várod a megoldást,gyanakodj,hogy a vödörben vagy!⏳
Unfortunately true
lucky bastard
Good acting.
They really delivered on the intensity of the situation
Salty buns .
Pointless film
Once they’re broken…
Chris hanging out at the park is quite insightful. Michael Jackson created his own private park.
Wow a sailor moon reference
Well spotted!
