Sweet Stained

Kate, a woman trapped in a painful world of lies and distrust discovers a ray of hope in the form of
Alex who longs to take her away from the dark underbelly of the drug trade.

Sweet Stained is a short film directed by Uisdean Murray and written & by Mary-ann Cerruti. The film was completed in June 2006 and premiered at the Action On Film festival in LA in July.

Though the film is self-contained we are using it as a taster for a feature length project called Angel Dust. Sweet Stained offers a glimpse into the characters and shooting style that we hope to bring to the big screen in the near future...

"Easily the most distinctive film stylistically was Uisdean Murray's latest slice of Tartan noir. Scripted by leading lady Mary-Ann Cerruti, Sweet Stained showed the trademark style and pace Murray showed in his Jemima films (starring Joy McAvoy). One could reduce Murray's work to the formula of girls, guts and guns if there wasn't this persistent sense of a major talent emerging".
