School of Shock

From Steven Dorrington

About the film:

School of Shock is a very short film about a big misunderstanding. Six-year-old Isabella is about to attend the most important interview of her young life for a place at a private school and despite her parents best efforts she is not keen on going. Her Father (Chris Anderson) does everything he can to motive her for the big day but once she is alone in the interview room with the head teacher (Tippy Elgar) trouble ensues. Miscommunication between Isabella and her Mother (Louisa-Marie Hunt) during their preparation causes havoc when she gives some unsavoury answers to seemingly innocent questions.
