Outline:

Bloodgurgler is a dark comedy/thriller which highlights the potential dangers of a life online, particularly when playing games with people whose real-life identities we don’t know.

Computer-based role play games have become a significant part of the lives of many adolescents and young adults, and Bloodgurgler taps in to the excitement, the thrill, the terror experienced in the game world by our potential audience.

The film explores this “world” through the eyes of Brian, a young office worker. He sneaks time at work to play his favourite game, unaware that his victories and some of his other behaviours have offended his opponents who are out for revenge, and not just in the “game world”.

In the virtual world, you can run, but you can’t hide!

Director’s Note:

When I was a child, my grandmother would regale me with stories of her youth. She was a knockabout kid who lost her mother at the age of nine. Raised by her policeman father, her three older sisters and the nuns at the convent school, her misdemeanours would get her into a lot of strife. She was loads of fun. I have often wondered what it would have been like to be one of her playmates, but sadly, time is linear and we were not born in the same era.

The idea for The Good Room originated from the whimsical notion of meeting her in one of her escapades, but has evolved into a tale about time and magic and mystery. I am inspired to tell this story as it represents the collision of these nostalgic musings with the creative and disciplined processes of RED Flag. It also signifies a new creative journey which I am keen to explore.
