Too Busy To Think Of A Title ©Copyright April Kelley
In an attempt to gather more experience within my chosen career I have written a one act play entitled "Too Busy To Think Of A Title".
Kinkyfish held a script writing competition looking for one-act plays based on "Hope in Devastation" and "Rages Against the Modern World". I entered "Too Busy To Think of a Title" and it won. Rehearsals began in September in preparation for a weeks run in Novemeber.
Kinkyfish presented "Too Busy To Think Of A Title" written by myself at Arts Depot in North Finchley, Novemeber 2011.

“Too Busy to Think of a Title” shows a non-naturalistic approach to how busy our lives are, in the 21st Century. This is narrated to us through a local observer on a busy London street watching extreme characters who are carrying out their daily routines. Concerned about the way people are living there lives nowadays, she states “Never take life too seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.”… But what will it take for these people to realise this? Inspired by various events and experiences which I found confusing as a child and then prompted me to ask, “Why does this happen?”.
“Too Busy to Think of a Title” attempts to solve these unanswered questions about growing up, expressed in my own special way. It allows people to ask and solve there own questions but most of all to help people remember what is truly important in their lives when all has been put into perspective.
Brick City A Benjamin Cyrus-Clark Production
"Our lives are made up of many choices that have far reaching consequences, something that becomes fatally clear to Adrian and Kieran. Two guys from two very different backgrounds find their lives colliding in a way that neither expected, dramatically changing them both forever. Brick City journeys through their lives in urban Luton from both their perspectives showing how a simple choice can lead to a little misunderstanding that can very quickly turn fatal."
I am playing the role of Lisa Cunningham, Steven's long suffering girlfriend, who has come to accept him as an idiot and loves him for it. She is bubbly, funny and always up for a good time and knows how to hold her own around the guys.

“Susanna” 2010
A short abstract film based around a painting in the National Portrait Gallery entitled Susanna.
Interpreted as a young girl struggling with weight issues, she has to endure the punishment of stripping on stage to pay for eating too much that day, not looking a particular way or another negative thought all girls have at some point. What is more intriguing is that she strip in front of an audience which she thought would be there, but aren’t. Why is she beating herself up when the rest of the world does not mind what she looks like?

"Chrysalis" Hindsight Genius Productions 2010
This short film was shot during the summer by Hindsight Genius Productions which is made up of London Film School students.
This film cannot be done a justice by trying to explain; watch it and decide for yourself whether you take in literally or find a hidden metaphor within it.

The London Film School have given me opportunities I never thought I could experience whilst I was still training. Together we have all grown in technique, confidence and ability but most importantly I’ve learnt things which simply cannot be taught at drama school, and it’s been great fun… epic in fact.
