In a society where bad writers are now jailed for their crimes against screen writing the pressure is put on an inmate by the prison Mr Big who wants to escape the walls of the prison
Quite often when I'm watching a short film I might notice a few flaws , a common one being " This isn't a short film this is a sales pitch " but now that I come to think about I very rarely think " I wish this film could have been a lot longer . This revaluation came about watching WRITERS' BLOCK by Tom Gran and Martin Woolley . A world where poor writing is punished by imprisonment ? I like it and a few minutes raking through the IMDb suggests this might not be a bad idea . It's an animated short which means the directors can get away with things they probably couldn't with live action and that means the inmates revert to typage ie they physically appear as holding the physical caricatures as you would expect the characters to have . Srereotypical ? Certainly but one that's deserved . There's also a large amount of wit involved . Check out the penguin tattoo which is taken from the book company
Where the story does fall down quite badly is that the makers have come up with a very good concept and then proceed to blow it by then turning it in to a mere runaround where the inmates via a screenplay try to escape their confines and remain one step ahead of the pursuing guards . I definitely thought there was a lot more potential and scope to the story and felt rather disappointed we didn't get to see more of this world
