"Safe" at Cannes Film Festival 2016

Produced by Paul Thompstone, Directed by Stephen Hall, ‘Safe’, is a short film about a chance encounter which takes place in the darkest of times, where one man’s fight to survive is met with one man’s dying wish.

It has been 2 years since the fall of civilization. Joe (Adam Moylan) has learned the hard way to stay away from the cities forcing him to travel through the most deserted terrain in Ireland. His search for clean water and food is interrupted by an injured man, Pete (Zeb Moore), who is left for dead by the ‘bad ones’. Joe must learn to trust Pete as he is brought to the task of taking his wife home.

Stephen Hall

The Director, Stephen Hall, is an Irish Film-maker, his passion and love for telling stories came from a very young age. Ever since completing a Bachelor of Science in Video and Sound, Stephen has written and directed many projects for the festival circuit and for Irish Television, most recent of which being the international award winning short film ‘Sinners’. Coming from a cinematography and visual effects background, Stephen has a unique eye for visuals. In his final year in college he began teaching film making in another neighbouring college while he wrote, directed and shot his thesis film. This film was then optioned for a television pilot for the national broadcaster RTÉ.

Stephen has recently wrapped up directing Dawn Bradfield (King Arthur, The Clinic) and Joe Mullins (Pilgrim Hill, Glassland) in the upcoming Gerry Stembridge picture, ‘Day Off’ for RTE. Stephen loves ‘high concept’, he creates stories that push the boundaries of genre and has a visual flare that draws you in and holds you there. He is a multi-award winning film-maker, winning awards internationally for Best Film, Best Drama, Best

Quote from Stephen: “Having grown up in the same town as the producer and having had success in our own fields, we decided to collaborate on a project together. I wanted ‘Safe’ to be shot as efficiently as possible with a small crew and a story centered around a ‘real’ hard hitting conversation in a high concept environment. I’ve always had a fascination with the concept of exploring how people react when all societal rules are abolished, ‘what is their moral compass, what is right and what is wrong’. Out of this came SAFE.”

Paul Thompson

Paul Tompson “Shortly after we submitted ‘Safe’ to the Short Film Corner we were astonished to discover it had been accepted to take part. As roughly two out of every three films submitted to this section of the festival get accepted and with thousands of participants attending every year, we knew that ‘Safe’ wouldn’t get half as much recognition or attention from investors or distributors as it would if it had been accepted into the Official Competition. This meant that a lot of work had to be put in if we were to get a leg up on the other participants attending with short films. It would seem luck was on our side as only a few weeks later we received a phone-call through connections that a bar owner, located minutes from the central hub of the festival, was willing to let us host our very own night at their venue on behalf of our film during the upcoming festival. We are hoping that this event will help us immensely when it comes to the marketing and the general publicity of both our production company and ‘Safe’.” Paul Thompstone Head of Production | Greenflash Pictures
