Director Statement

"With FONE CALL, I really tried to put the viewer in the shoes of someone suffering with drug abuse and depression. Though also trying to find the lighter side of life. I first had the idea of FONE CALL when I was sitting naked on the toilet, hungover and had just been rejected for a BA course in acting. Hence why I was hungover. So this film became a coping mechanism for me in a way. It also has a good amount of themes and issues to consider. I loved making this film and principle photography was done in a day so it wasn't easy! Anyhow, I hope that this slow burning, day in a life, dark comedy tickles your funny bones and maybe make you drop a tear... or two."
