Made You Look
From Martyn ChalkAbout the film:
Love ...The Final Frontier.
Frank and Jo’s lives are going according to plan. After all Frank has had it planned since their first look, 6 years ago. Jo has a secret that will throw every plan into a tailspin. Russ’s life is in turmoil since Amy left him for the ‘good looking bloke’. Maybe it has always been in turmoil, since Frank’s first look from Jo was actually meant for him. Russ cannot move on from that look, so is always there in their lives and in their social groups feeling like a spare prick.
As Frank’s plan moves up a gear to the next phase of having children, both Jo and Russ are compelled to think hard about their lives and choices.
Russ tries hard to accept this and move on with some clumsy attempts to find a new relationship. Jo is becoming more distant with Frank, just as he is looking to get closer. The three circle and orbit each other desperately trying to find ways to make their own move.
When Russ finally makes his move, some 6 years late, all three lives are turned up- side down as secrets spill out and truths are revealed.
There is always a plan...It just isn’t always you making it.
