Incidental Characters Incidental Characters

Director: Benjamin Verrall

Year: 2020

A film about fitting in, falling out, getting lost and getting back on track - telling the story of four very different but equally socially awkward people as they heroically muddle through life. Alf finds other people difficult to read. He lives in a world of his own; everyone else is an alien. With meaning so often lost in translation, Alf stumbles into friendship before falling head over heels in love. Josie is a dreamer. Having recently graduated from Art School she now finds herself drifting, searching for answers but asking all the wrong questions. Alison is stuck in her lonely habits. In a small town, it is too easy to keep going over all ground. She makes the same mistakes time and again. Tony is a hapless romantic. Twice married and seeking a new companion, he lets the need for approval stand in the way of true love. This is a story of hope - how you never know when a chance meeting or coincidence will change your life for the better. It's about the magic of moments and the influence we each have on each other, often without knowing it.
