“Burning Bridges“

By Amy Shindler

Directed by Sharren Read

Kate and Dan (born in the 90’s) are professional colleagues and newlyweds.  They invite Kate’s younger sister, Sarah, who has Asperger’s Syndrome, for a two week visit.  However Sarah has some major surprises for them and things quickly spin out of control.  Life quickly spirals into a nightmare of accusation and intrigue.

It explores issues surrounding Asperger’s such as sensory overload, obsession and difficulty forming relationships.  It looks at other issues like gender politics at work and home and how do you prioritise childcare if you and your partner are equally professionally committed?

Dark,  Intense,
