The movie production had everything. A great script. The perfect cast. A series of disasters…
Ethan is working as security on the set of an independent film, Alice On The Shore, in a quiet town in the north-east of Scotland. Security-wise he is underemployed, as he sits in the small field overlooking the sea, little more than an onlooker as one peculiar calamity after another befalls the seemingly ill-fated production.
Ethan has his own secrets, however, which will stop him getting too close to anyone, including Sandy, the young second assistant director. Nevertheless, Ethan and Sandy form a peculiar bond on the borders of romance, as Sandy’s role in the production grows ever more prominent.
Alice On The Shore is a short novel of unexpected depth and complexity, a perceptive look behind the filmmaking curtain, that draws you quickly into its wonderful cinematic world.
