Rachel has been selected by Screen WM with the project Trolley
Trolley is the tale of a Birmingham boy called Lenny who works at the supermarket as a Trolley pusher. This is the story of a boy on the precipice between adolescence and manhood grappling with his everyday life circumstances. The film invites us to experience a day in the life of his mind, as we go on a journey into his psyche and experience the fine line that exists in all of us between reality and our imaginations. Lenny is at risk of becoming a reclusive boy whose only way of escape is to retract into his own imagination, until events coincide to bring him out of his fantasy world and give him the confidence he needs to interact with the people around him.
To be shot in Birmingham, this visually intriguing film will use a subtle peppering of stylised animation and real life sets and costumes - juxtaposing bleakly beautiful everyday environments, with extraordinary fantasy sequences.
