Growing up.

It’s attempting to understand who you are in people’s lives and who you want to be. This film is entirely feminine but is not just for the girls. Everyone in their life discovers something about their identity if it’s who they want to be, who they want to love or who they want to know.

“Bin Glitter is entirely about love; the love between a friend, the love between someone you've just met, the love you have for someone you want to be like.”

In their final week together, two best friends attempt to come to terms with their friendship. Our protagonist Midge, convinces her best friend to create a Super Eight film that represents the complications of their friendship. Throughout the week, Midge starts to realise how much she will miss Sue. They both know they will have to leave each other. One will stay and one will go. But where will their friendship exist once they leave?

Coming-of-age.

Through creating a coming-of-age film, we have been able to talk to a range of different people about how they view the dynamic of these two characters. What shocks us the most is the way almost everyone has been able to see themselves somewhere. Whether it is the character that falls in love or the character that someone has fallen in love over. Everyone has to grow up.

Our approach to the industry.

The most important thing to us as filmmakers, is a safe comfortable environment. If we are going to make a film about love how can we establish that into every possible ounce of this production? For us, that meant safety, comfortability, acceptance, and the ability to make mistakes. We are scrapping the classic industry-standard hierarchy triangle, and instead creating a circle. Inside the circle is our producer, director and first AD holding the strings to each department. We are all there to ultimately craft the concept of love, let's make sure we all feel it too.

Feminine.

“We do not want to make it an all-female set. We want to simply give women the opportunity to take on the roles that men have predominately dominated in the industry before.”

Not only is the film written, directed, and produced by women. Almost all our heads of departments are women too. What we aim for is representation in our film, may that be through female writing or feminine gaze through the camera. Thankfully for our set, we have simply picked the best people for this film and have got an incredible number of women taking on these roles with the perfect addition of other male/non-binary crew members truly understanding our feminine vision.
