Small Hours and Bin Men

Written and directed by Paul Chambers. Inspired by two men he met walking along the Stratford Canal.

Damien John Kelly House, catering to men in recovery, opened to significant opposition in 2019. Within a short space of time, the abstinence-based recovery living centre had changed the hearts and minds of the local community. Its residents channel their recovery through activity, from team sports to photography, writing, filmmaking and other artistic pursuits. Among them is Sam. A short film about his issues with addiction is the entry point for this portrait of the centre and those who have benefited from it. It highlights how recovery is most effectively achieved through engagement and community interaction.

A man looks back on his younger years and relives some of the moments that led him into his troubles with addiction in later life, he looks back with a mature wisdom that flows as poetry.

A curry and a shag, that's what Lilly had in mind, Ted's intentions for this date are somewhat - shittier. A dark comedy thriller based on a particularly disgusting urban myth/legend.
