While drinking buddies wasn’t selected as part of the top 25 of the entries for straight 8, I am incredibly proud of the team behind the project, who worked tirelessly throughout January to make it happen.

I can’t say thank you enough to my co-director @esme.cornish. It was great to have our directing debut together on this weird folk story.

We can’t wait to share it with everyone in the coming months.
