Wild

Short film

Description:

'Wild' was our first short film and has shown at festivals all over the world, including the BAFTA affiliated London Short Film Festival, and The East End Film Festival. It also showed at the Oscar recognised, Portland Film Festival. As experiences go, it was a bit of an odyssey but was a lot of fun to make and we are looking forward to building on it in the future.

Synopsis:

'Wild' is about the unsettling effect of a rumour on a teenage girl.

When Laura hears that her boyfriend, Sam, may have cheated on her, it tips her life upside down. She attempts to return it to normal – meeting with Sam to test his feelings for her – but soon realises that doubt, once seeded, is not so easy to uproot.

Taking place over a 24-hour period, the film captures Laura’s uncertain state of mind and shows how quickly we feel destabilised when trust has been undermined. Photographed in an understated, naturalistic style and with a young cast, the film plays off the instinctive caginess of teenagers and conjures up the heightened intensity of adolescence, where small events swell into large, hard-to-explain feelings.
