The film distills the ideas, emotions and feelings of what it is to be alone in a distant metropolitan city, far from family, far from friends. Heartbreak and chaos boiling within rendering the characters to drift into a lonely hedonistic daze, only to find love, friendship and meaning right in front of your eyes. The film has its inception from my time after graduating University and moving into London and setting up my film career. From endless hours in kitchens and nights out into pursuing my dreams, and the toll its taken on me.
The film is deeply personal to me, since in many ways it is my story, only told through the eyes of our protagonist. The film is self-financed and done with a minimal crew on the streets of London on our days off. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope it moves you in the ways that making it has moved us.
