Applicant: Take2 Ltd
Project Title: Triq is-Sebgħa
Allocated funds: €50,000
A drama series made up of seven short films. Each of the films deals with a protagonist (or more) who lives in Triq is-Sebgħa and explores one of the seven deadly sins as a theme. What links all the films, apart from the location and subject matter, is the fact that Take2 will be following the ritual whereby a statue of the Holy Mary is passed on from household to household, week after week. Each time the statue enters a particular home it will follow the story of those characters. Characters from different films will cross each other's paths, so while someone could be a leading protagonist in one story, the same person could become a secondary or background character in the next. The project was created in the context of a writer’s room, whereby writers and aspiring writers got together to create stories, explore themes and develop ideas. Hence, ideas where workshopped thoroughly in a group and although each writer was assigned a particular film, the stories were enriched by the contribution of the group.
