No sooner have I barely finished one film, when the production bug strikes again – this time with my first foray into the romantic comedy genre with the short film, ‘Prudence Pecker’.

Following the direct challenge from the Head of Screenwriting at my film school, I opted to embrace the genre I loathe the most, romantic comedy, and try my best to make it my own.

“Prudence Pecker fantasizes about becoming a best selling romance novelist but her lack of real life sexual experience thwarts her dreams.”



My inspirational references for the film ranged from the films of Todd Solondz all the way through to the old Hollywood classics by Douglas Sirk.



I have been blessed with an amazing cast of talented actors – led by the very funny Amanda Bishop in the lead role of Prudence Pecker.



I opted to shoot the film on the Canon 5D DSLR for its cinematic look.

Currently half way through production, I expect to wrap the shoot later this month, and hopefully have the film completed by August for festival release.

Some production stills from the film can be seen in the slideshow below :)
