THE FILE short film from British/American director Indigo Bates released online on Film Shortage

Dave Hanson and John Colapinto in THE FILE

“When decades of hard work, vulnerability, and embarrassing secrets suddenly go missing, there’s only one thing Paul and Scott can do. And they going to spend most of the film arguing about what that is.”

NEW YORK (PRWEB)
October 26, 2022

THE FILE, starring Dave Hanson (known for his work on Chelsea Lately, Inside Amy Schumer and Trainwreck) and John Colapinto (award-winning New Yorker journalist and novelist) depicts a couple who find themselves at a loss when their therapist of over 20 years dies. Are they willing to accept this catalyst for a fresh start or are their 20 years of documentation worth saving – even if it means breaking and entering?

The filmmakers wanted to explore what happens when stabilizing aspects of long term relationships disappear. THE FILE deals with themes of disclosure, closure, and the hilarious lines between them. Paul and Scott’s debacle is captured in a heightened reality, almost feeling surreal or absurdist at times, but grounded by cathartic relatability.

This film was created through the joint efforts of Writer/Director Indigo Bates, Executive Producer Erin Judd (No Frames), Producers Jeffrey Brown and Nile Berry, and Cinematographer Brett Phillips.

The full film is being premiered on Wednesday Oct 26th on https://filmshortage.com/dailyshortpicks/the-file/ and can also be seen on http://www.indigobates.com
