Retrospective - short film

Miriam and Will called time on their marriage over a decade ago. What will happen when they meet unexpectedly at a screening of their favourite film?

Shot on location at Genesis Cinema, Bethnal Green, London.

My first project as film director. Shot in one location - that took a mere five months to find - with an amazing cast and crew who hustled to get everything prepped over Christmas and New Year for a shoot on the first working days of the year. What did we learn? It’s insanely stressful to prep when everything is closed and everyone is on holiday but our various freelance commitments meant it was a great time squeeze it in.
