Who are they and what do they want?
Writer Garry Charles has informed us the first trailer for his post-apocalyptic chiller Straw Man is now online. Charles co-penned the film with director Andrew Barker. Leslie Simpson and Axelle Carolyn star. You can watch the preview below; scroll down for a full plot synopsis and keep an eye on the film’s MySpace page for further updates!
Straw Man is the harrowing tale of one man, a lone soul in an empty world.
To combat the loneliness of isolation he surrounds himself with people made out of straw, hand-crafted and moulded from faded memories of friends and family. They offer little in the way of company yet they hold insanity at bay.
This Lone Man is a contradiction, his rambling thoughts battling against his need for structure and routine.
In his quest for normality he spends each day teaching pupils, reading to them from the classics as they stare back at him with blank, featureless faces.
But when the line between reality and fantasy is blurred by madness his ordered life is sent into a downward spiral.
Why do the straw people stare at him with blind judgement?
What are the children trying to tell him?
Who is the beautiful woman… …and does she offer salvation?
