The Swing

 
 

After an unsuccessful suicide attempt, two lapsed friends embark on a picturesque road trip around the Peak District, and desperately try to avoid slipping into their childhood dynamics, picking up hitchhikers, or talking about their actual real feelings.

 
 

For our latest short film, we brought some of our collaborators from across the globe to the beautiful landscape we grew up in, in the hills around our home town of Buxton.

We’re so excited to be back in the warm arms of the local community, and to show the world how stunning the area is.
