SHORT FILM TITLE: The Smile Transplant
The film would be between 3-4 days long shooting.
- 2-3 Days shooting in Dublin
- 1 day in Co. Wexford
SYNOPSIS: In a world where people are forced to eternally smile.
Eric brainwashes his blind nephew Monty into believing he’s living in
a beautiful fantasy land. Nevertheless when Monty regains his sight, he becomes
unable to smile and is forced to obtain an operation known as a smile
transplant. The film is influenced by films such as Eraserhead and The
Stepford Wives (the original, not the remake).
The film's method of execution, is that all the characters wear masks
and speak no dialogue. So the role of the actor is
to tell the story through body language and physicality.
If an actor is successful in nabbing a role, it would be unpaid work.
Nevertheless it could well lead to paid work for future productions.
But at the very least transport costs will be provided for on this
film.
An average working day would be between 10:00am-6:30pm. But its
possible one of the filming days would work later than 6:30pm.

online we'd love to see it.
