Council of Grievances
Have you ever felt wronged in a way that there isn’t a clear hierarchy to complain to? Where there’s no penalty given to the culprit? Council of Grievances is a comedic take on what it might look like to have that entity, in this case, a council, to lodge your complaint.
Project status: pre-production
With a finished script and fundraising completed, pre-production on the film is underway. This means booking the shoot location, casting the actors, rehearsals, and all the rest of the stuff before shoot day.
