Inspiration through Film

During my trawling through the short films on Vimeo I found this wonderful little film.

Have a watch and scroll down for an exercise related to it.

Prompt of the day

I love this short film for a range of different reasons. Firstly, it’s ridiculous and hilarious. I like the way it grows out of something so small into something so big. It got me thinking about voicemail messages.

So here’s an exercise that bounces off it.

  1. Go through your phone and find a voicemail or voicenote message. Make sure it has some sort of provocation in it.

  2. I want you to imagine you are reacting to that message in the most extreme way possible.

  3. I want you to write into that imagined reality and see where it takes you.

  4. I want the piece to end in some sort of performance.

But most of all I want you to enjoy it.
