My initial idea is for a 90 second short film that follows a young man who plays piano at a level that is above average. He is considered more intelligent than most due to his advanced ability at playing piano. However he looses his love for it due to intense pressure from examiners and tutors saying he isn't good enough yet and that he can do better. It also shows some hard times he falls on with serious issues within society among young people, like substance abuse which are becoming more common.
I want the film to be purely silent, as it's a piece based on expression rather than words. The words are secondary to the expressions of the characters because actions speak louder than words.
The film would purely take place in a piano room and the piano would be in the majority of the shots to connote how his life is taken up by piano.
There would only be three actors in this piece, one to play the pianist, one to play the tutor and one to play the examiner. I want the pianist to be male, however the other two roles can be played by any other gender.
