Write a short summary of what happens in the film

The creative was inspired by the (likely mythical) bet between Ernest Hemmingway and his fellow writers, resulting in the saddest sentence ever written: ‘For sale, baby shoes, never worn. The short focuses on the story of a young girl who has gone missing and makes the viewer think about all the unrealised achievements and milestones that a missing child will never experience. This provides a small insight into some emotions and thoughts felt by families and friends of missing children.

Tell the jury about the creation of the original music track.

This piece makes the viewer think about all the unrealised achievements and milestones that a missing child will never experience. With this short, the music had to lift the story of the young girl's dreams and aspirations to become a dancer. There is a certain innocence in her acting, that I wanted to mirror in the performance and progression of the child-like piano. The pirouetting scene I felt married well with the sound of a music box. The music box comes back over the ‘missing’ sign at the end of the piece, however this time the sound is distant, cold and has no supporting harmony.
