Director Statement

MIMIC was created as my final piece of work within my film degree and my first time directing. I am really proud of what myself and the rest of my crew were able to make with such a small budget, as MIMIC was entirely self funded.

The core of this short is to make a statement on what young people who are living through the cost-of-living Crisis may have felt and how basic living need for those who are struggling can feel like a far of fantasy.
