Experiencing Interruptions?

Tricycle

In a park during Autumn 1985, a dishevelled businessman sits alone on a bench and contemplates life at the bottom of a bottle. A new mother dreams of happily ever after and a pedantic old lady eats alone. All go about their usual routines, but today is different; today is not just another day.

Director Statement

Despite the daunting prospect of producing a film under COVID restrictions, the unwavering determination to tell the story of Tricycle on-screen outweighed all of these hurdles. As soon as my Producer; Fleur felt we could film safely, we were determined to go ahead. With a cast and crew who shared the same ethos, the film was shot. It was adapted, developed, cast, crewed and filmed within three-months, throughout late 2020.

We would love for Tricycle to reach audiences as far and wide as by possible and hope it gains recognition. There is a very true and real message within this story. I don’t think that you could see this film and not be affected by the characters and their journeys. We wanted to create a film that took the original story and then dug deeper into the characters, picked at the edges to see what was underneath.

What would be revealed? A multi-layer piece that visually unravels as you watch it. A film that certainly doesn’t do all the work but allows the audience to join up the dots. One thing I will say is watch out… as all is certainly not what it appears to be!”
