Emily's Story - A Clubbing Film
Synopsis
However, we cannot ignore the 2nd line of the film - The Drug is a metaphor - this isn't only about drugs - it's about all the things we bolt on to make us feel better, when the truth is - feeling better is a choice we make inside.
'Emily's Story' reflects the clubbing environment of the late 1990s and is presented in a unique format - designed that it can be viewed in a nightclub as well as on normal home-based outlets. The Storytelling is intense and opens the viewer up to self examination and realisation, to understand what metaphorical drugs they use in life to overcome feelings of low self worth (fashion, celebrity and powerful cars).
A Unique production, available in 2 lengths for the clubber or shortened for regular film viewer. Think 'Trainspotting' meets 'Alice in Wonderland' and you wont be dissapointed
