Thinking Inside the Box

What's it all about

Two box office staff ransack their intellect in response to life's big questions; consciousness, existence, the self... and what Buddhist's make of Marmite.

We follow their philosophical musings as they battle boredom, apathy and the general public, wrestling through the day while struggling to think outside the box.

Instantly recogniseable to anyone who has spent time in customer service, and essential viewing for anyone who hasn't.

The idea behind the project was to create a series of sketches which would allow a large body of work to be filmed in a short amount of time. The goal was to create a conversation for every week in the year so we have 52 episodes written and ready to be filmed.

Sam Gould and Chloe Christodoulou have been a writing/filmmaking partnership for a number of years.
Their first project, 'London:A Guide for the Naive', was a spoof documentary tourist guide to London which drew attention from a number of places including Time Out.

They followed this up with 'The Story of Our Time' which was a finallist in the London Sundance Film Competition, and a number of shorts which have been selected in various festivals.

'Melbourne: A Guide to Living' was the sequel to the London guide and screened at the Melbourne International Documentary Festival.

Paul Carroll and Jennifer Byrne have worked on a number of highly acclaimed projects for both stage and screen.

In terms of development we have a team ready to film these and the task for us will be to create a marketing campaign behind it to build an audience that could then be taken on to the next project. But we are always interested in meeting new future collaborators; writers, actors, producers, editors etc.

We have always worked with a small and collaborative team, preferring a casual on-set atmosphere without the pressure of a larger crew.

This project could certainly be developed into a larger format sitcom set in a cinema and expanded to include the projection room, concessions counter and bar, with episodes focussed around training, premieres and other events.

But for the time being our development plan will be to raise some money to put this series into festivals and create a following online.
