Blank Canvas (Short Film)
By: Mark Bird, Aitor Antepara Zuza, Carla Foss, Amy Elliott and Andy Fawn
After winning a heavily publicised painting competition, Joel decides to
take up the offer of a studio contract with a city based art-company and
relocate, leaving his dreary, monotonous lifestyle behind.
However, starting anew isn’t easy. The deadline for the exhibition of his latest unfinished work is fast approaching; but the pressures of an overbearing manager, a lonely existence in a faceless environment and the guilty memories of a dead-end relationship left in favour of a new career aren’t providing Joel with much inspiration.
A short drama that gets under the skin of a man who aspires to be remembered as a talented artist, but instead finds himself stuck in the cogs of the corporate wheel, ‘Blank Canvas’ reflects a society that yearns for instant gratification, without having to work for it.
