An award-winning origin story, a tribute to cinema – and a razor sharp tribute to revenge films

Winner of the Los Angeles Film Awards ‘Best Short Screenplay’, and Official Awards Nominee, Change the Reel is a contained pulp-noir origin story set entirely inside the claustrophobic confines of a New York cinema. It follows the night a young film projectionist becomes a vengeance-fueled anti-hero pushed onto a path of bloody revenge. Fuelled by a natural born instinct for violence, this is the night an orphaned girl, who has built a quiet life threading film and hiding from the world, is forced to confront the violence that’s inside her. What emerges is transformation and vengeance, and the world will confront the version of her that steps forward – wounds stitched up and armed with wit, 35mm film, and a chrome revolver Pam Grier would be proud of!

The old her v’s the new her. One of them has to die …and someone’s gonna pay!
