Film №219  ·  Synopsis

by Missy Jubilee

A film about Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian and relationships that can’t be counted on

What is the space between
emptiness and imagination called?

What were you waiting for?

What were you hoping for?

Who are you really?

What do you do
to fill in the spare time
while you hang around in that vacuum?

Silence

Ok, let me tell you about me

I am a drowning thing
A bunch of limbs splashing water into my own face

I tried to swim
Before I knew how to float
Before I knew how to pray

I am guilty of reductionism

But I forgive myself

Because I was just splashing
Keeping my head up
Outsourcing the misplaced guilt.

No answer is good enough
No working theory works
No stopping or turning the clock back

I am talking to the computer

I am my own captive audience
My comments
Scratched into the screen
Indelible
Undeletable
Pieces of me
Like carrots and a stick

I am a creator

I make my own dirty bomb pipe dream
with my own dark recipe

A last supper of my own making

I can’t get wet anymore
Too busy learning how to swim

I need more

You need less
We all need
A way to confess

This is mine

TOXIC Script Review

by Producer Alan Rogers in London

Alan

Sometimes I think I have stepped onto platform one of stranger town station. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there is a missing part of my brain and I suspect it was useful to me in the past. I think I may have mentally lobotomised my sense of worth. I guess I'll never know.

The start of the film gives the impression that you have been personally attacked on social media. This is followed by a short clip showing a fairground barker introducing an unwitting cowboy to the 'wheel of love'. The wheel is biased to positive attributes but the wheel reveals that the cowboy will feel none of these and instead lands on the suspicion wedge. A metaphor that is not completely lost on me.

The song thank you almee would have completely passed me by had you not directed me to it. Not that I am on the fence about Swift. I genuinely like her work; and feel she has written some incredibly good tunes and has a poets linguistic confidence to bring everyday lyrics to everyman. Her collab with Haim for the song 'No body no crime' remains my favourite murder ballad (yes I have seen Saltburn and yes 'murder on the dance floor' is a great song).

This film touches on something personal to you, but wraps it within Swifts poetry with a liberal dusting and reworking of your own beautiful words to compliment and expand on the meaning. The video is creativity personified, and fits the music perfectly...it would have been too easy to play Swifts song but you chose to use 'garden' instead and the effect of the driving drum and bass with the breathtakingly accurate splicing of video effect is outstanding. You twist and turn with the storyline.

Towards the end of the film, your words become barbed, perhaps even weaponised but wrapped in a self deprecating envelope before licking the stamp and slipping into the metaphorical postbox of your intended recipient.

The Josh Johnson clip adds context and humour before the Blair Witch ending leaving us wanting more (its not a cop out).

I therefore find myself listening to thank you almee and your words are still just ringin' in my head, ringin' in my head.
