Hit and Run

After hitting a cyclist on a brisk morning in a rural county, teenagers, Freddy and Max, stand over the cyclist as he lays lifeless on the ground. Freddy is calm, wanting them to squeeze the body into the car and drive off. Max tries to rationalise a solution and refuses to take the body with them. The boys must act quickly to dispose of the body before they are caught. As an oncoming car is spotted, chaos ensues as the boys try to find a solution. Will they escape or will they get caught? Find out in the 2024 short film, Hit and Run, directed by Jack Hancox.
