Idea
The film follows an underage soldier named Llewellyn Jones within the trenches during the third battle of Ypres. After the death of his father earlier during the war, Llewellyn conscripts into the British army without his family's consent. With hopes of becoming what his father was , he soon realises the reality of War. In the trenches the men do not approve of Llewellyn's presence, making each day even harder than it already is.
We will follow Llewellyn's experiences in the trenches of the great war.

Vision
As a production team we want to create an immersive, powerful and emotional story that reflects a glimpse of the reality during the First World War. We want to implement tense moments of warfare but also focus heavily on character development from not only Llewellyn but the people around him too.
