Desire

Original screenplay by Gareth Jones. The story of a screenwriter whose muse threatens to take over not just his creative and sexual life but his sanity, DESIRE plays out behind the doors of a London family home, whose secrets simmer dangerously beneath the surface till desire tips the balance and the highly unstable mix erupts. Is she lover, saviour or thief? And who is writing the film called DESIRE?
