This is a picture of an aglet

The current 'working title' of our film is 'AGLET'. I felt that this would be a fitting name for the film as an Aglet is an essential part of many people's lives that is overlooked regularly. An aglet is 'a metal or plastic tube fixed round each end of a shoelace.' Without this small element the whole shoelace would fall apart and it would be extremely difficult to use the shoe anymore.

The plot of our film consists of a teenage boy name Craig whom is trying to come to terms with becoming an adult and learning to tackles issues regarding his sexuality. Craig's journey is told from his own perspective as we follow him whilst he attempts to find himself. The audience are given a ticket into Craig's mind via his notebook and bear witness to how his ideas, both good and bad, work out. Throughout the film we also see how Craig's Experience of love develops and changes him for the better.
