I’ve got to go upstairs – Press release

Crashing into a cinema near you

“I’ve got to go upstairs” is the newest film written and directed by Richard Parr. Richard Parr is a breath of fresh air for the UK film industry, with his unique approach to directing and dark imagination he has created this tale of unfortunate events where the lead character “Will” (Thomas Robinson) struggles with the guilt and consequence of causing a fatal car crash which involves himself, his best friend Robert Gamble (William Barton) and his long term girlfriend Hollie (Hollie Starbuck).
“I’ve got to go upstairs” is a very atmospheric film, mixing great mundane acting with a quirky soundtrack and a tense edit reveals an intense feature, which will get the audience wanting more after leaving the cinema.
The sublime audio within “I’ve got to go upstairs” really adds to the misc en scene, the ambience and thoughts of Will really gives the audience a sense of pain and anxiety.
Richard Parr directs the film in a way that makes the audience anticipates that within the car crash that Will has caused, his girlfriend Hollie has died. There is several clues to this story line, like Will staring at a photo of them for a moment, Robert suggesting that Hollie will forgive Will for the crash and audio clips of the accident. However, this story line is thrown through the window screen as we find out in a dramatic end that Will is mourning his best friend Robert (who he has a conversation with in the dining room halfway in the film), this twist is entwined with epic audio of the havoc of a doctor trying to save Robert but failing, perfectly synchronized with the realisation of Robert’s tragic death, however to thicken the plot, the Will wakes up at the end, suggesting, this all could of been a dream or some sort of terrible ground hog day experience.
Goober productions are very proud to present “I’ve got to go upstairs” and will be released on the 19th may.
