On The Verge: Caged

After losing the person closest to her, a woman is left completely alone. In her loneliness, a lust for revenge grows and she finds her everyday life infected by darker thoughts that culminate in an act of extreme violence.

Drawing on the experiences of the haunting silences that became commonplace during each lockdown, ‘‘Caged’’ explores the potential  consequences of trauma if left to fester. How difficult is it to accept pain and injustice…and how easy is it to succumb to anger and vengefulness?

Inspired by their love of character study cinema, 

Reno and Jade were drawn to creating an atmospheric piece with minimal dialogue, driven by the subtleties of a character’s inner journey and giving their actors opportunity for nuance and depth in their characterisation.
