Relative Motion
By Stephanie Greenwood
Project in development.
In a rom-com turned cautionary tale, Sam and Paul have a meet-cute on the London underground. What appears to be a charming romance becomes a tense emotional-escape-room as miscommunications and manipulation begin to dominate the relationship. Stuck in moments on platforms waiting for the next train to come, Sam grapples with what is in her control and what is inevitably set in motion by her romantic collision with Paul.
This new writing project is in development. After a successful R&D in 2023, we are excited to announce the next stage of this project. Coming soon in 2024.
This project is being produced in collaboration with Turlington & Company.
Turlington & Company is a multidisciplinary production company based in New York City and Glasgow. Founded by actor and overall creative weirdo Sam Turlington, T&C focuses on bringing like-hearted artists together in pursuit of new and adventurous storytelling.
