Lady Margaret

Synopsis

Running time 9:50 minutes.

When Danny and Joe spot Sadie sitting at the bus stop they can tell she's gagging to show these two sex gods a good time. Sadie sidles into their car, well honoured to get a ride with two older boys. The threesome have a right laugh driving around and checking each other out. But when Joe suggests they go for a drive into the woods to "look for the ghost of Lady Margaret," Sadie starts to feel uncomfortable.

Sadie wants to go home. Joe says they'll take her. After she's proved herself.

Director's Statement

Lady Margaret is a short film about what it's like to be a teenager. You're not quite sure who you are yet but you know what you want:

SEX.

It's behind everything you say and everything you do and everything you wear ... when you're not talking about it you're thinking about it and when you're not thinking about it you're ... trying to get it.

What I set out to do with Lady Margaret was to create a story that really could happen. I wanted to take the audience and keep them guessing about the outcome. Will Sadie get off with Danny? Will Joe get Sadie? Will Sadie be okay? Will Danny and Joe still be mates?

Above all I wanted it to feel REAL.
