1. Plot synopsis A successful young businessman wakes up to find his world turned upside down by the news that he has lost his job, the short film follows the events which happen after this, which eventually lead to him making a fresh start, ridding himself of any traces of his previous business lifestyle. During the course of the film, he suffers a breakdown as his former job was everything in his life, and that’s now been taken away from him.

11. Filming Locations Leicester. We will film here to get most of the urban shots , assuming Chris's house, we will use this for the inside opening shots Lutterworth, we will film here if we can’t find appropriate locations in Leicester, or if we just need a few extra shots and don’t have the time to go to Leicester.

Although our main character is male, the film is not specifically targeted to one gender: Both male and female adults will be in the same situation with the current job redundancy issues, and many may find themselves in the same scenario in real life.
