Get Up & Go is a funny, heartfelt, comedy-drama following a close knit group of twenty-something friends as they are forced to confront the reality of lives and friendships unchallenged and unchanged since their teenage years. It is a treatise on youth, where bravado and self-confidence often disguise hidden fears and unfulfilled ambitions as we face up to who we are and who we want to be. It is my intention to make a film that is fast paced, engaging, funny and affecting through an emphasis on realism and the often over-looked dramas of everyday life in a modern city.
