| Self Help’ and ‘Respect’ are written by Anita Gallo.
Anita has a life long passion for drama and recently gave up her
Management career in order to concentrate full time on her writing.
She won the BMI Poerty Competition (2005); her theatre play
"Pendulum" was well received at Edinburgh Fringe Festival (2006)
and her short films have been screened at various festivals and
on Sky TV (2007 & 2008). She was also shortlisted for the British
Short Screenplay Competition (2007) and The Metro Ecosse/The
List Short Film Competition (2008).
“Self Help for Beginners” was inspired by her experiences living
in London, and “Respect” from her fascination with psychological thrillers.
`Self Help' is a light-hearted romantic comedy about Victoria's
quest for a soul mate or rather, a bed-mate! Surviving dodgy dating
agencies, she discovers true empowerment and possibly more satisfaction
than even she could have imagined.
`Respect' is a dark, disturbing thriller which reflects on how the
excitement of a one-night stand can so easily and quickly twist in the
sobering reality of daylight.
