Short film about depression- voice overs/ narrations needed
Project Overview
4.48 Psychosis is a play by British playwrite Sarah Kane. The play is an autobiographic depiction of Kane’s sanity experienced at 4.48am, her experience with clinical depression, and her final thoughts before suicide shortly after finishing writing the play. The play depicts a very subjective presentation of depression, giving the audience insight into one particular case.
I am studying film production at university in September and wanted to get some practise in so I had an idea for a short film personifying depression. I need many different voice talents to speak the narrations. As depression is something that effects people of all ages, genders, social classes ect. please perform the lines in your natural voice/ accent.
This project will involve swearing so just a heads up if that's not really your cup of tea:)
Thanks!

It's not your fault, that's all I ever hear, it's not your fault, it's anillness, it's not your fault, I know it's not my fault. You've toldme that so often I'm beginning to think it is my fault.
I can't eat
There's not a drug on earth can make life meaningful.
I cannot be alone... I cannot be with others
This is not a world in which I wish to live
(Hopeless) I am a complete failure as a person
I cannot love

A consolidated consciousness resides in a darkened banqueting hallnear the ceiling of a mind whose floor shifts as ten thousandcockroaches when a shaft of light enters as all thoughts unite in aninstant of accord body no longer expellent as the cockroachescomprise a truth which no one ever utters
Do you think it's possible for a person to be in the wrong body?
I am fat
No hope...
(hopeless) I am sad...
I used to be able to cry but now I am beyond tears
At 4.48
when sanity visits
for one hour and twelve minutes I am in my right mind. When it has passed I shall be gone again.
(hopeless) I am bored and dissatisfied with everything
I can't eat
I cannot overcome my loneliness, my fear, my disgust
(Hopeless) I can't think

A room of expressionless faces string blankly at my pain, sodevoid of meaning there must be evil intent.

After 4.48 I shall not speak again
I have reached the end of his dreary and repugnant tale of a sense internedin an alien carcass and lumpen by the malignant spirit of the moralmajority
