CANADA (Sasha Stoltz Publicity): Crangle’s Collision is both a tragic Greek story and a gritty, dark comedy-drama about the best of times and the worst of times — the beginning line of Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities, which may not only what this Great Recssion is, but the short film from William Chad Strug is loosely based on the classic story. Crangle’s Collision follows the main character Frank, a simple mechanic whose dreams of running the family-owned garage business after his father are broken when a land developer is out to sell it, and worse: he’s having an affair with his wife, who yearns for a life of wealth, status, and prestige.
Frank’s younger sister Lucy is carrying on a secret affair with someone with really strong ties, as Frank takes matters into his own hands to deal with his bitter and disappointment, and these two events will make an impact on their family, neither of their lives will never be the same.
“Most businesses are run by family” William said. “Now, it’s faceless corporations taking over. The father thinks the family will be set, but family secrets come out. The irony is that the wife doesn’t know that her lover is buying the business. People act impulsively without regard to the consequences.”
