Set within the glossy, vapid and veneered world of a car advert, The Talent from Thomas May Bailey plays out an uncomfortable blurring of reality and fantasy. Bailey fell upon the central premise of the film after having experienced the very same desires as his protagonist while working on sets and seeing where he wanted to get to but not quite knowing how to get there - a chronic affliction all too relatable for anyone toiling in the creative industries. A virtual production stage with all of the false promises of an eternal perfect sunset and the vacuous but enticing world of flashy cars plays the perfect host to his satirical look into the film industry and the aspirational desires of those within.
