Overview
GLUE is a short drama written by Gill Kirk and directed by Isabelle Larché. An F-rated film, it follows two very different sisters, Olive and Yasmin, after the sudden death of their parents. I've always been fascinated by the sister dynamic - how quickly they go from arguing over a hairbrush to plotting revenge against a cheating ex-boyfriend. Being a sister myself, I've always wanted to explore that relationship. After 5 months of developing ideas with Gill, that exploration has become Glue.

What is Glue?

Hello! I'm Isabelle Larché, director and producer of Glue.  I've been wanting to make this short film a reality for over a year, and here we are, less than a month away from filming.

Glue follows Olive, a 23-year-old woman from a small town in south-west England. After years of feeling smothered by her family, she finally escapes to the city when she finds her dream job working in radio. Just as she settles into her new life, her old one comes knocking when her parents are killed suddenly in a car accident. 

Olive must go home and, with her soon-to-be 18-year-old sister Yasmin, decide what to do with the house. Never very close, the fractures begin to show. Where do they go from here? 

 

Behind the Project

I'm a third-year film student at Screenology Film School in Bristol, so this will be one of my final pieces I create before graduating. I've had the idea for Glue in my head for over a year, so to finally be making it is very exciting.

Gill Kirk is the extraordinary writer behind Glue. I met her on Cahootify in October, and since then we've been going back and forth with ideas about the characters, backstories and so forth. She's put so much into this project and I'm so fortunate to have her on board with me! It's incredibly exciting to have an F-Rated film in the making, so I can't wait to get it off the ground with your help. By contributing to this project, you'll be contributing to a female-led short film exploring two female stories. Women leading film projects is not a trend, it's a movement, and I want this film to be a part of that. 

 

What We Need & What You Get

 

 

We've already managed to secure the main location for the film - the house. In terms of budget, this was our primary concern going into production as 90% of the film is set in a house. With that dealt with, we have other costs that need addressing to make this film the best it can be. 

We're hoping to raise £600 for the film. That'll be split into four parts - actor's expenses, costume, props and set design and finally emergency funds. We're already relying on the generosity of actors to work unpaid as we can't afford to cover day rates, so at the very least we'd like to cover travel costs and lunch on set. As well as this, your contributions will help raise the production values of Glue massively. Gill has written an incredibly visual script, and with that comes props, set design and costume. For the film to have the impact we want it to, we need to be able to do the script justice - which is where the art department is so crucial. The final quarter of the budget we're hoping to raise is emergency money in case we need it - for example, if actor expenses go over budget or we need to make an emergency purchase for a prop.

Risks & Challenges

There are always risks and challenges when it comes to filmmaking, and for this project, the biggest is our time restriction. We only have our main location for a number of days and if we don't get everything shot in those days, we'll have to spend a lot more to book it again later in March. 

As well as that, maintaining high production values is a big challenge, particularly when it comes to shooting in a location so known to everyone - a family home. This is why raising the funds is so important, because set dressing goes such a long way in telling a story. With your help, we'll be able to overcome these hurdles and make the best film we can.
