Third Person Plural is a 1978 film directed by James Ricketson and starring Bryan Brown. [2]

The script was devised by the actors and director in a workshop. [3] Cinematographer Martha Ansara also appears in the film. [4]

Ricketson has since called the film an "experiment":

I just wanted to see whether it would be possible to make a film on that small budget, shoot the whole thing with a hand-held camera, integrate improvised dialogue with scripted dialogue, work with a small core of actors on a character-based piece, which is what I did, and then to approach the editing of the film in an innovative way. Now, I happen not to like the film myself. Having done the film - it was fun to do it - I decided that I didn't like it, and it certainly wasn't the direction that I wanted to go in. [5]
