'Don't Be A Stranger'
One pub, one night, six stories, none of which you know, or would have known. Don't be a Stranger (2025) shows us the reality of social isolation and loneliness within at-risk communities from the mouths of those who know it best. This verbatim short film takes the real experiences, stories, and testimonials of people who have struggled with loneliness, its causes and effects, and what mental, social, and physical effects it had on them. With a script only made up from real peoples words, and a completely unique experience in which the audience is directly interacting with our actors, this film is sure to get under your skin, and question what you can do to make a difference.
"We Are Who We Know"
Anxiousness, sympathy, discomfort - these are all feelings this deliberate cinematography choice will provoke.
The production is both a film and a continuous research project, in which we will be tracking our findings in public and using them to create greater awareness on isolation to feedback to the community and appropriate/linked charities or help-centers. All the films dialogue will be taken from our public interviews, as a big part of the production is giving a voice to those who may be normally overlooked, as a result of this, most of the content will revolve around working class communities.
