Based around the concept of a Faustian tragedy, this is a modern urban re-telling of the story of the song Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. The main characters dialogue is only the lyrics of the song whereas the other characters have free dialogue. The film is book ended by the song itself. The film tackles a number of social issues such as crime, imprisonment, murder and drugs.

Director Statement

The process of making your first film with no experience and no budget is a scary one, but truly rewarding. When you've managed to assemble a team of people to cover all the various roles and parts and they seem to be just as 'bought in' as you, it can only mean you've got something right. Story and Character is what it's all about for me, get those right and you could shoot the film in any number of ways and you'd still have something to show for your efforts.
