I choose to tell the story for two reasons. First of all, I wanted to create a film where the audience and all of the characters except the lead know about the tragedy occurring in the film. I thought this would be interesting for a short film because an active viewer would feel like a participant in the film's narrative rather than just an observer. Secondly, I thought Bonfire Night is such a uniquely British celebration that I haven't seen shown in many films before, and I believe would create an interesting and melancholic backdrop to the film.
