Surveillance

short film / 12pp / contained Thriller / suspense

A paranoid police surveillance officer questions his life choices when he becomes trapped in his van by the violent gang he’s meant to be watching.

The pitch

A contained suspense fuelled thriller, exploring the pressures of a very dangerous job, the impact of cuts on police resources (which further accentuate the risks), bullying in the workplace and police corruption. Inspired by true events, a family member was that surveillance officer.
