Private Project

Good Ones

Change is never easy, and our teenage years are host to a lot of it. That's why a trio as close as Charlie, Mel, and Ollie, need to make their last weekend together as special as possible. How better to achieve that than a good old fashioned monster hunt through the woods of England?

Director Statement

I’ve always been fascinated by the idea that when you are young, what adults can perceive as something small, can feel huge. I wanted to create a story that captured that emotion in a way that audiences can resonate with and when I got to thinking about it, the thought of losing my friends was still a feeling that hit me the most.
