2. The Escape - Synopsis
- A little boy who experiences difficulties at
home and at school, so he avoids his
problems and learns the hard way that
avoidance only creates new problems
3. Problems encountered during
production
• Location
- agreeing on locations (outdoor and indoor)
- finding homes to film in (second part); still a
problem
4. Problems encountered during production
• Casting
- Finding a young boy to play “Conor”
- needed to be a certain age; found someone
- Finding a middle-aged woman to play “Sheila”
- needed to have experience in acting; yet to find someone
- needs to be available to film when we need to, access
to their home
- found a possible solution (one of us to act), looking
for another solution
5. Problems encountered during
production

only allowed six lines)

shots…)
