Ninety Seconds started production on 17th September of 2020, with a cast & crew of sixteen people, this newly independent project was entirely self-funded by the writer, director and producer Kevin J. Mc Corry. Ninety Seconds is a short narrative drama taking place in one single location, following in the footsteps of emotion and the drive of context, showing two sides to a single coin and how one event can convert a single person down a dark sinister path, a realistic nature that has challenges us all on a personal level or more, a realism idea, using the power of context to tell a sinister story that has contorted two men in the most sinister of ways both physically and mentally, one room converted into a far greater ordeal. Ninety Seconds finds itself building of atmosphere and storytelling, two men in a single room with history that has woven them both in darkness, the realistic nature of desperation twisting and manipulating the mind to commit the most irrational acts.

 

Production consisted of a one-day shoot, using multicamera filmmaking techniques to capture the scene, allowing emotions and the atmospheric build up to be fleshed out more naturally and creatively. Ninety Seconds is a simple story and structure with potential both visually and verbally, the power of atmosphere, context and acting were all crucial aspects of executing Ninety Seconds to its highest level of potential. It is through the power of storytelling that the audience will see a far greater and darker history that has challenged two men and through this will show the emotional state that separates the two characters and their personal and emotional arcs. One room, one case that goes far beyond what the two characters could ever have imagined, a realistic approach and nature when balancing on the fine line between good and evil. The crucial key to Ninety Seconds’ execution was the build-up and development of context and atmosphere to make the audience believe and invest their time into these characters and most importantly the overall context that is driving these character’s motivations and interactions, to understand the history of resentment and loss.
