Spaceship (2016)
Magical teenage realism
A challenging, unexpected meander through teenage eyes. Both hallucinatory and strangely down to earth. Genuinely unique magical viewing with a cast who feel absolutely recognisable in their disengagement with the world around them. Spaceship is a development from Alex Taylors wonderful short film Lilly Goes to Kiss Land.
Bypass (2014)
Fluid narrative about the UK's abandoned youth.
An incredibly fluid narrative which powerfully portrays the on-going confusion and despair faced on a daily basis by the central character. Whilst the people out to get him continually change, his living in perpetual fear and anxiety doesn't. The radical approach to the storytelling feels exciting and original, adding a very believable, claustrophobic feel to a life lived in a grim reality. There is nothing Tim can do and nowhere he can go to change his situation because, like the audience, at no point does he have the whole picture. Instead he has to deal with everything that is thrown at him without any support or understanding. The performances are excellent and the film is a devastating watch.
