Patterns is an experimental short film charting the emotional unravelling of Cassie (Bianca Bradey) as she navigates the lonely new landscape of life without her abusive ex-boyfriend (Fayssal Bazzi).
Following a skeletal script penned by myself and Bradey, Patterns was shot over the course of a single day, and was almost entirely improvised by the five cast members.
We follow Cassie as she seeks comfort in the arms of lovers, friends and strangers; falling into old destructive patterns that will force her to reflect on herself and her choices. Through a series of intimate scenes depicting the spectrum of human relationships - passion, dependency, animosity, tenderness - we are pulled from the present into the past and back again. The more Cassie is wrenched apart by her own memories, the more she realises this difficult time may actually be a chance to reflect upon, and rebuild, her life.
Patterns is currently in post-production.
