Three lost souls make a break for freedom, embarking on journeys of discovery. But it’s April 2020 and no journey is as simple as A to B – even to the front door. Distance Remaining follows their quests to reconnect with the people in their lives, the places where they live, and the selves they might become.
Blending film, theatre and electronic score, Distance Remaining stars Karen Dubar, Reuben Joseph and Dolina MacLennan.
Talking about the news, writer Stewart Melton commented: “Like many, I have often felt marooned this past year, cut off from the people I love and activities that bring my life shape and purpose. Perhaps as a result, I am very curious about how we all differently engage with separation and solitude and find what we need within ourselves and our immediate surroundings. In writing Distance Remaining, I have loved following all three characters’ adventures as they confront, overcome or reconcile with their loneliness – they have helped me feel less alone and I hope they will be good company to others too.”
The piece features an original soundtrack composed by Louise Anna McCraw. Meanwhile, the creative team also includes: director of photography Seth Hardwick, production designer Jen McGinley, assistant director Nathaniell Brimmer-Beller and is produced by Helen Milne.
