Kevin is the protagonist of our film noir, suffering from dissociative amnesia, PTSD and Depression, we wanted to focus on the theme of mentality in the film, drawing inspiration from characters such as Leonard from Memento and Buzz from The Blue Dahlia. Kevin suffers from 'blackouts' causing him to forget the brutal murders of his victims until he is ultimately betrayed by his love interest Violet.
Violet (Femme Fatale)- Julia ten Hove
Violet is the ambitious undercover journalist, who manipulates Kevin's mentality for her own personal attainment, seeking career success and independence. We tried to feature the common motif of independence in our femme fatale, as these show women straying from their traditional gender roles in film, something we tried to reflect.
The Police Officer (Moral Figure)- Robin Hutchinson
The police officer is used as a moral foil to the characters in the film, reminding audiences of right and wrong and highlighting the ill decisions of our characters. Ultimately he sympathises with Kevin, Violet blatantly using him to advance her career and personal success.
