Director Statement

I wrote and directed the short film 'Perdition' as a cathartic response to a deep personal regret. Is there atonement for a mistake that can not be undone? A regret that drags people into a self destructive spiral that feels overwhelming and with no opportunity for redemption. In this film each character reaches a point that they can no longer pretend and the road forward is perdition.
Keeping the production under £7000 was less a challenge this time around. A lot of the production and post production work was done in-house with a team I had worked with before. We were all better filmmakers since we last worked together and It shows in this film. We cast award winning actors along with immensely talented upcoming actors that delivered strong performances. I am really excited to continue my journey as a filmmaker and I've already begun work on my next film.
