The Drama Room

2013, 1 minutes

Young boy finds escapism and an outlet for his angst through his drama explorations

'The Drama Room' tells the story of two year nine students and how their friendship is threatened by tragedy. A stage production of John Steinbeck's 'Of Mice and Men' is used as a backdrop to events going on in their real lives. Local filmaker Bruce Partleton directed the project and the film won Best Drama and Best Actor (Adam Newman) at the Kent Amateur Film Festival 2006. This was some achievement as Adam (one of our year nine students) had never acted before! Many students were involved in the production of the film, either acting, operating sound equipment, lighting equipment or the cameras. It was a real group effort! There's a selection of screenshots on my website. The film runs for just over an hour.
