The Meeting is an action drama following the events over a
couple of days of a young man in his 20’s, Sidney Ferris, set in a small
suburban council area just outside a major city. Despite being quite physically
fit, Sidney has
nothing going for him in life. He has no job and very little money. The story
follows his unlucky meeting with an international criminal Edmund Cortell.
Cortell is in his late 50’s and is a very dark and deceitful man, showing no
remorse to the actions he takes. He is always seen with his right-hand man, a
man with no name and little personality, who is always referred to simply as
The Associate.
The story begins with Sidney and Cortell holding guns to
each other, in an old fashioned Mexican stand-off situation. We then hear a
voice over of Sidney,
as he tells the story of how he got into this out of the ordinary situation.
While out jogging one day, a car pulls up next to Sidney. A strange man gets out of the car and
places a bag over Sidney’s
head, knocking him unconscious and driving off with him in the car. When he
comes to, Sidney
is tied to a chair in a small office, and he meets the criminal Cortell.
Cortell offers Sidney
a substantial amount of money to do a job for him; robbing an old client. He is
told that if he does not perform the job, then Cortell would kill him. Sidney then proceeds with
the job and is successful. When he meets with Cortell again, it is revealed
that Cortell is not going to pay him, and instead kill him, resulting in a
tense stand off between the two central characters.
Despite being only a short, ten minute long film, The
Meeting is a dark drama filled with action, that at times, will have you
sitting on the edge of your seats.
And the trailer... Enjoy!
interesting... a little thin on content, but it has a clear structure and interstng use of music. would have preferred to see this sooner so I could offer more constructive (change this, do that etc) feedback.
