'Acting Out' tells of the experiences of a young woman dealing with issues of intimacy and a fear of relationships as a result of the separation of her parents - issues that drive her to 'act out' as she craves attention from her self-absorbed mother (Rebecca Clay) and those around her, yet creates a wall between herself and the outside world. After leaving a party, Skye has a chance meeting with Danny (Sam Atwell), when she tries to buy some cigarettes without ID at a local service station. Danny is instantly attracted to her independent, headstrong attitude and he offers Skye a lift home, which she defiantly accepts. The next morning, Skye is faced with Jeremy (Shaun McKean), her mothers boss and new boyfriend, and she escapes to the sanctuary of her room to arrange to meet up with her best friend Stacey (Jo Trentini). Soon after, Danny returns and asks her to go out with him - but in his eagerness to cement their relationship, Skye's issue with intimacy raises its ugly head. Angry and confused, Skye is determined to regain what she had lost as a child, and attempts to reunite with her father after an argument over Jeremy. But Ted (Mark Jensen) has moved on from the letters he sent her as a young teen and Skye is pushed to the edge - left to her extreme and highly self-destructive behaviour. ...Acting Out
