Textual @traction
Audience gets the message
In the new movie about text messaging--Textual @traction--audiences "will be able to see the messages exchanged between leading characters-on their own mobiles...The film centres on a young man who finds a lost mobile phone and starts replying to text messages from a mystery stranger...What makes the film unique is that the audience does not actually get to see the messages on screen...Instead, by pre-registering, they receive the texts to their own phones at the same time as the characters on screen." Karen Price, The Western Mail, Sep 9 2004. Textual @traction has been selected to compete for Best Short Film, Best Foreign Film and Best Drama, at this year's Los Angeles International Short Film Festival.
