Private Project

Brighton Avenue

A suppressed youth isn't sure what he wants from life. However, he is certain he doesn’t want to become like his bitter factory worker dad, mourning missed opportunities from his younger years that could have influenced Manchester's football and music scene forever.
With no immediate prospects of employment and haunted by a flashback from the past, he asks the question, ‘who’s more foolish, the child afraid of the dark, or the man afraid of the light’
