Experiencing Interruptions?

Pint?

A pint is worth a thousand words.
Daisy and Kyle, two patrons of a run-down pub, weave a tale of murder and misfortune. They sit at different tables yet tell the same story to their respective drinking partners having never met one another. Using the faces around them as character inspiration, Daisy and Kyle wax lyrical as last orders approach. Is there any truth in their words or are they liquored up Keyser Sözes avoiding difficult realities presented to them by their drinking partners?

Director Statement

I wrote and directed Pint? because I wanted a film that wasn't gritty and real but a film that would centre on the imagination of everyday people. These people can talk but say nothing. The truth of our emotions is sometimes too hard to bring into daylight, so they invent worlds and characters in the hope that they can project their worries onto them and maybe someone will give them the help and support they actually need and crave.
