Turkish-German writer/director Aylin Tezel makes her feature debut with
Falling Into Place, in which she also makes her English language acting debut. The film
sees Tezel and Chris Fulton play two people who forge a connection
on the Isle of Skye. Returning to London, they must both confront their
pasts if they're to successfully reconnect.
Alexandra Dowling, Olwen Fouéré, Michael Carter, Samuel Anderson,
Layo-Christina Akinlude
and Rory Fleck Byrne also star.
"Falling into Place is an ode to love: its magic, its
memorability, its pain, and its joy," says Tezel. "It takes courage to grow up and grow out of different versions of
yourself - at any age. For me, this story is not just a love story between
two people, it is also a reminder that life is a series of choices.
Decisions that we make ourselves, or that are made for us, and that change
us. I would like the film to invite viewers to ask themselves personal
questions: Do I choose to spend my time doing things I like with people I
love? Am I brave enough to look at myself?"
Falling Into Place will screen at the Glasgow Film festival
on March 2nd.
