Even Droids Have Friends

By Park Pictures

description

THE FILM

Over a pint at a local Star Wars convention, two middle aged men still dressed as their lifelong heroes r2d2 and C-3PO face the moment of truth.

'Even Droids Have Friends’

This is a short film that explores what happens when a hidden truth is spoken and knocks  a childhood bond off its feet. Meet Harry and Peter, now two fully grown men but once two young awkward outsiders who forged a solid relationship over their love of Star Wars. Almost thirty four years later at a local convention one of them drops a bombshell.

In a small parochial GAA hall Harry finally admits that as 44year old single man he can no longer see himself in gold make-up and a girdle.Touring conventions as C-3PO isn’t for him anymore but he knows what is. 

This bitter sweet tale explores a childhood friendship into adulthood and what happens when one wants to trade up.

THE PLEA

We’d be thrilled, over the moon, hopping-up-and-down grateful if you can be part of this journey.

May the Fund it  be with us.
