Sinopsis

Throughout the production of LIFE JUST IS, writer/director Alex Barrett has been documenting the process of the film's creation. In keeping with this open exploration of the making of the film, LIFE JUST IS: SCRIPTBOOK presents not only the final draft of the script, but also the first draft, thereby offering a unique insight into the film's development.

LIFE JUST IS tells the story of Pete, Tom, David, Claire and Jay, a tight-knit group of friends who share neighbouring flats in London after recently graduating from university. As they hang out, throw parties and navigate the new responsibilities of adult life, romantic tensions and existential crises begin to simmer beneath the surface.

What people said about the script:

'I think it's just terrific: funny, moving and thought-provoking...the opening scene, in which we are immediately given a great deal of information about the central characters by observing their reactions to the film they have just watched, is a model of good screenwriting...quite frankly I think the piece is perfect' - Brad Stevens, film critic and author of Abel Ferrara: The Moral Vision

'Well-written, believable, funny and thought-provoking...There's something fundamentally kind and compassionate about the script and the non-judgemental light on the characters that I found very appealing' - Michael Walker, screenwriter of Relative Values
