Strings is a 2012 British independentdrama film written, directed, produced, and edited by Rob Savage in his feature-length directorial debut. It received praise for its high quality despite Savage being just 19 years old when it was released and for its low budget of £5,000.
Four teenagers in England deal with romantic endeavours during their final summer before they move away to attend university. Grace, a visiting German student who is soon to return home, falls for the quiet and distant Jon; meanwhile, Grace's friend Scout becomes entangled in an increasingly violent relationship with her long-term boyfriend Chris.[1]
Savage was working on his short film Sit In Silence (2011) when he watched the German drama film Requiem (2006), featuring a performance by actress Sandra Hüller which moved him so much that he managed to arrange to meet her in Munich to discuss collaborating. After the meeting, Hüller introduced Savage to Philine Lembeck, a younger actress Hüller was mentoring at the time. Savage began writing the screenplay with the two in mind, taking a year to finish the final draft.[2] The film was shot on a Sony FX-1 with an SG Blade 35mm lens. Filming took roughly a month,[3] with its low budget totalling £5,000.[2][4]
