Hello! My name is Campbell Gruiters, and "The Milk Bar" is my directorial debut. It has been in the works for a couple of years now and has been through many, many rewrites...many. I had multiple opportunities to create this short film, but the time (and the script) never felt right. But after leaving it for a year, I started the script from scratch, and can confidently say that this is ready to be created. I'm so lucky and thankful for the team I am getting to work with, every single crew is a piece of the puzzle that will make this short film go places. Thank you for your support and we are so excited and determined to make this script come to life!

"The Milk Bar" is a story based on a conversation every gamer has had; 'what if this was real life?' Every person who has picked up a controller and played a game has always asked themselves that. Well, "The Milk Bar" is based on my 3 best mates while doing a heist in the popular game "GTA V," we all wondered, 'What if this was real life?' The game will have a digital world feel; different visuals, different outfits, and wacky colours! Compared to the REAL robbery they set out to accomplish, the gamer world and the real world will look completely different, but both are very visually appealing. This will display the vast differences between the gamer world and the real world.
