Then & Now - A lockdown drama in three parts
‘When two old friends Claire and Sean reconnect during lockdown it quickly becomes clear there’s something looming in their past.’
Kacey Ainsworth - Claire
Liam Tobin - Sean
It’s no exaggeration that ‘Then & Now’ saved us during lockdown, when all work stopped and the country shut down it stopped us losing our minds and gave us some proper creative focus. It was also a lot of fun, all shot remotely over zoom and fully improvised, it was a really exciting and unique way of working which involved close collaboration and experimentation with both actors as we worked on the characters and story together.
​
At the beginning of the process we didn’t really know what it would become, we had an idea for two characters and not much else, but over the space of a few weeks the three part mini-series took shape.
Once complete the series was picked up by DiscoverFilms and eventually became available to watch on My5.
