Brits A Comic Opera

This short film tells the story of Emily a young female clown aged 2224 originally from Yorkshire North England now living in London with her disillusioned workingclass father who is also a clown. The opening act follows Emily as she wakes up late for work shares a quiet moment with her kind father and navigates her journey through the rain and public transport delays. However her destination is far from ordinary. Instead of arriving at a traditional circus Emilys path leads her to a different kind of circus... While this short works as a selfcontained story it also serves as the opening to a larger feature film that reimagines The Wizard of Oz in a contemporary British setting filled with cultural political and historical undertones. The feature will be presented as a comic opera with dialogue throughout.
