Ties of the Ribbon is a complex layered thriller from London-born director and screenwriter Jason Ferguson. The film explores the relationship between two men and their unusual connection to string of disappearances. First envisioned over two years ago, the film has received support from experienced documentary filmmaker Vanessa Van-Yeboah (BBC/Channel 4) and talented colourist Michelle Kort (Ex Machina/ The Crown/ The Kings Speech). In order to create a cinematic, visual masterpiece on a short film budget, we have pulled-in favours from our contacts all over the film industry and some very talented emerging talent including our Sound Design team who have worked with the likes of Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Wretch 32, Noam Murro, 20th Century Fox, Biscuit Filmworks, Pantene, Universal Music, Tilney, Grey London and Sony Pictures. Their work and the work of our talented DOP Hax Ahmet, will be key for adding emotion into our visuals.
The Exciting Script
During what at first appears to be a fairly normal morning, Mr Violet awakes to a flurry of texts from a familiar source but he decides to ignore these throughout the day – could this be a spurned love interest or a worried spouse?
Mr Violet feeling guilty, decides to make up for this avoidance and stops by his favourite florist’s run by Mr Fairbrooke, to pick up some flowers for them… roses for that special someone, will they be waiting for him at home?
Q&A from the crew of Ties of the Ribbon
Director and Screenwriter
When writing the script, I really wanted to capture the essence of classic 80/90’s thrillers like Basic Instinct, War of the Roses and Body Heat but with a modern take on the story. With the film being a short it was crucial for me to capture key moments while taking the audience through a series of layered moments.
Producer
After reading the script I instantly wanted to work on the project, the story really pulls the viewer through a string of emotions. Everybody loves a good thriller!
Director of Photographer
Being that the film has very little dialogue, I am really looking forward to bringing the story through to the audience through visual story telling. As a DOP this is really something I can sink my teeth into.
