When Vanessa's friend Dave gets a girlfriend, she looks at the world with fresh eyes. It's gay versus straight, white versus black, and couples versus the rest of us. And although she's Vanessa, she could be anybody. She could be an heir to Rupert Murdoch's media empire. She could be one of the millions of people every year dying of AIDS while the rest of the world watches Big Brother. She could be Karen, who isn't talking to anyone. She could be anybody.
I Could Be Anybody is a fifteen-minute film that
was shot on DV over five days in September 2005.
It’s funny, it’s observational, and
sometimes it’s a little bit melancholy.
The cast and crew of
I Could Be Anybody has collective
experience in University theatre, the Victorian
College of the Arts, the Melbourne International
Comedy Festival, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival,
Melbourne Fringe, the Malthouse Theatre, The Seven
Network, SBS, the ABC, Triple R, Triple J, commercial
radio, and much more. We are computer programmers,
secretaries, doctors, engineers, lawyers, photographers,
writers, producers, retail and sales people, and
waitresses.
Our cast and crew worked for nothing, and made
this film in the spare hours between their day
jobs.
