Rory Wilson is a British/Bermudian Filmmaker, currently working in Liverpool, UK. 'Loco' is Rory's fifth short film, following on from the success of his previous short film 'Drop.' which was selected for the BFI Future Film Festival.
'Loco' is a human story exploring the world of a train driver. When there is an incident on the tracks, a suicide, the train driver is often the last person to be thought of, they are the forgotten victim. The noise of impact, the horrific sight, literally seeing a person in their last second of life. Such is the trauma that most train drivers will endure, and yet their voice is not heard. In my research I came across shocking stories of PTSD suffered by these drivers, and the unfortunate news that support funding was set to be cut. We were also able to work with the chief Tracks Incident Response Officer who gave us valuable insight into the procedure during an incident, but also how the train drivers often react, how some are sick and quiet, while others are loud and abrasive, only to crumble once it all sinks in. Liverpool legend Andrew Schofield plays the lead role of Paul and the heart and intensity he brings to the role is incredible. This film aims to uncover a truth, an unspoken truth, about being a train driver.
