Short Film (Simple Robbery)

  AWARD-WINNING Thriller Short Film - A Simple Robbery (2020) Becky and Stacey are two friends who enjoy taking money from rich men. But tragedy strikes when a robbery didn't go as planned. Was hooked right from the opening credits! The American narration and comic undertone were clever, giving this another layer and made me feel ever so slightly at ease in the suspense moments! Professional acting and interesting characters, which are so hard to develop in such a short space of time. I think the concept was super solid and well-executed.

Genres My Partner and I Will Explore

My partner and I thought about many different themes and genres that we wanted to incorporate into our short film. We believe that different effects from various other themes can still play a part in our production. We had the idea of continuing our love for the thriller genre into our next project. But we also felt as though maybe this genre was getting repetitive. Our ideas in our past projects were different, but maybe we needed to get a different perspective on our overall themes and tones. We thought maybe it's time for us to try a different genre and see how well we can produce it. Horror closely relates to the thriller genre in all the ways we love. This is why we would be interested in researching this genre. As well as the thriller genre. We both love horror movies. Their interchangeable aspects can fit perfectly to make our favorite films. Horror movies have factors that are similar to the thriller genre. The lighting usually stays consistently ominous in horror. While in...
