Event Description
For the woman at the centre of Chell Stephen’s darkly comedic debut feature, online shaming may be the worst of all possible fates. Played by Romina D’Ugo (I LIKE MOVIES, KCFF23), Andy is a floundering, fraudulent entrepreneur who responds to the controversy swirling around her by retreating to her family’s remote cottage. But her plans to bring a definitive end to her problems go off the tracks when she meets Ryland (Augustus Oicle), a local with a troubled history of his own. Shot in Lyndhurst with many Queen’s film students among the crew, Stephen’s first feature uses a spiky sense of humour as a means of tackling tough subject matter. The rapport between D’Ugo and Oicle becomes another vital source of energy and – as the connection between their characters deepens – a surprising wealth of emotion, too.
