ebecca is an unemployed actress rooming with an equally unsuccessful screenwriter, Sarfras. Much to the derision of her WASP family, comprising of senators, judges and lawyers, Rebecca ekes out a living by caring for a blind diabetic woman whilst careering from one disastrous relationship to the next. When invited to understudy a moviestar, Simone, to play Harwin, in Electra, Rebecca’ unfulfillment is compounded: despite outshining the “Queen of action movies” with her talent, Rebecca finds herself bullied or ignored by the cast and crew, including Ian, the neurotic director and Alison, the duplicitous stage manager. Her salvation appears to be in a relationship with the seemingly perfect NY Firefighter, Bobby. As accidents start to befall the leading ladies of Electra and Rebecca’ star begins to rise, suspicion surrounds the understudy. Can Rebecca hold onto the leading role and her freedom?

DAVID CONOLLY

The Understudy is David & Hannah’s second feature film. The British born husband and wife team had previously both been actors (notably Hannah in Secrets and Lies and David in A Passionate Woman). They also produced drama for the BBC and made short films. Their first feature film which they co-wrote, produced and directed was Mothers & Daughters (28th Mostra) invited to numerous film festivals in 2004 and rewarded with the Golden Hitchcock Director’s Award. This garnered them development deals with Crossroads Films (Snow Angels) and the UK Film Council, financing for The Understudy
