Murdoch Perkins is the lead character in Fingers, a short film I have written and plan to produce in 2013.
Fingers is a digital take on the old fable Pinocchio.
Murdoch is a bitter middle aged woman who can find nothing nice to say when she writes her blogs. One evening the Blue Fairy pays her blog a visit to give her an important message. From then, whenever Murdoch blogs bitterly, her fingers grow. And grow. Until one night when entertaining, Murdoch has a terrible altercation with the blender and her long gangly fingers are injured badly. She is forced to take a break from blogging. Away from her vindictive words she discovers the companionship of her once scorned cat, and a transformation takes place.
I plan, as Murdoch, to post regularly on subjects that give her the shits, which is most everything. I invite you to comment as kindly or scathingly as you desire. Some of your comments may even, with your permission, make the film or inspire more content - so go for it.
don't stay in character too long!
