Winner of The Big Pitch 08/09

Synopsis

Different Shades of Graham is a nonlinear, multi-perspective thriller. The movie follows the same period of time over a few days from the point of view of three different characters. It just so happens that these characters inhabit the same body.

Graham, Gray and G are three personalities brought about by multiple personality disorder. The first act of the film follows Gray, a seemingly normal guy trying his hardest to live a normal life under abnormal circumstances. Gray has to live his life with no idea of what his body is doing during the periods of time that he doesn’t live.

Half of the missing time is filled in during the second act as it is experienced by Graham. Graham is a highly paranoid personality who believes he is embroiled in a grand conspiracy that means his every movement is monitored and spied on.

Then, the final missing periods of time are filled in through the eyes of G, an unscrupulous character who leads his life in the seedy underworld.

Can Gray succeed in starting a new life away from his troublesome existence? Are Graham’s conspiracies a reality, or just in his head? And will G’s antics lead them all down a path of self-destruction? How can you trust anyone, if you can’t even trust yourselves…?
