All Don wants is a quiet life in the Scottish Highlands. Unfortunately the Universe has other plans.
When Don, an elderly Scottish grump, fnds himself the victim of multiple lightning strikes he begins to worry that his quiet, orderly life may never be the same again. It's hard to tell what he fnds more uncomfortable: sadistic persecution by a capricious universe, or the concerned attention of the people in his town.
Directors' Bio:
Big Red Button is the pseudonym Johnny Burns and Pier van Tijn use when directing films or fighting crime. There's no real story behind it so don't bother to ask. They currently make commercials and comedy bits and bobs for TV but will pretty much do anything for a laugh. Their work has garnered a smattering of praise from both the industry and their parents including a Gold at the BTAAs, a Staff Pick from Vimeo, Best Film at Kinsale, Single Funniest Moment at the Portland Comedy Film Festival and Turkey of the Week from Campaign magazine. In one year they directed 3 of the top 5 most complained about adverts in the UK. If you'd like to work with them in some capacity – perhaps you have a script you'd like them to spill hot sauce on, an idea you want them to mess with, or just a briefcase of cash you'd like to unload – why not drop them a line?
