Motel
Short Film (Full Length) – 2017
I know the guy on the door; pretty sure I can get us in.– Jack (Greg Smith) tries his lines on Jane (Sheena Irving)
Where would I go?– Jane (Sheena Irving) on the possibility of leaving her job and "getting out"
I'm a good liar. Yeah, I'm pretty good...– Jack (Greg Smith) is asked what sort of liar he is
I love this story because it’s simple. It’s about people whose lives are stuck but maybe for one night it could be different.– Writer/director Lauren Porteous on Motel, We Are Moving Pictures Film website, May 2017
