Wrecked, which is almost entirely shot in one intimate continuous take, is set within a group therapy session. As we learn about Matt (25) and his regular life “just outside Glasgow”, it becomes increasingly apparent he has something to get off his chest. The short shy’s away from dramatic visual storytelling, which enables the audience to imagine the events as the character describes –amplified by facial expressions, body language and tone. It shouldn’t work, but it does, effortlessly.
Stewart Hannah directs a truly stunning short that will strike a chord with many survivors, particularly the unheard voices of male sexual abuse. The concept is fairly simple, when it comes to a short film narrative, but that doesn’t make it easy to pull off. Stewart, together with Aaron, have created something truly compelling and brave.
