Their life consists of running from one town to another leaving behind bad memories and unfinished dreams. Jay is becoming a recluse and Simone fears she is losing him to a very dark place. When will they stop running and will Jay ever find a way to reveal his secret and save his relationship with his beloved Simone?
Director, writer and editor of the film, Tom Ryan said: “The song ‘A Man With A Plan’ was written in 2014 and was inspired by one of my favourite movies, Casablanca. I always felt an artistic need to create a visual to further express the message of this song.”
“With no financial backing I was not sure how to make my vision a reality, but as the saying goes ‘where there is a will, there is a way’. I was very fortunate to find three other people, in my acting/drama class, who share the same passion for film and we completed this project without money but with sheer dedication and motivation.”
He concluded: “I wrote the screen play, co-directed and co-edited this short film and am hugely proud of the end result.”
