We've designed all three so that they work on their own, but also work as the basic plot setup of the film when viewed as a triptych - you would not believe the amount of arguments Jan and I got into about wording of these!
The concept took weeks to come together (a downside of being a democracy of two!) but when we struck on the idea of having the characters lying on the grass with broken bits of sofa around them we knew we had come onto a winner of an idea.
I'm especially happy with the way the 'sofa' motif is understated and literally a background to the issues the characters are dealing with - just as they will be in BitterSuite.
Gotta say though, I think they work together pretty nicely - without any more preamble... meet Cordelia!

Cordelia really stuck out in the auditions, and had a wonderful ability in improvisations to speak harsh truths to other characters without coming across as harsh - she's naturally incredibly charming, and is pretty disarming because of it.
In person, she's a trooper and we're positive that she's going to make BitterSuite a fun and affecting viewing experience - I love her expression in the poster, it's like Mona Lisa's smile; what's she thinking? Is she feeling remorse for the actions in the text? Or does she not give a fuck because there's something else going on? SO MANY QUESTIONS! (Hopefully they'll be answered when you see the final film though...)
Another character reveal tomorrow, but that's your lot for now!
