2025 · 29 min · Drama

ONE DAY, TEN PEOPLE - HOW DO THEY ALL CONNECT? OUR CHARACTERS INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER IN THE BUILD UP TO A GIG THEY ALL ATTEND, THROUGH VHS FLASHBACKS WE UNVEIL WHAT HAS HAPPENED BETWEEN THEM. FITTING ROOM IS AN EXPERIMENTAL SHORT THAT PLAYS WITH THE COMING-OF-AGE GENRE. UNLIKE MOST COMING-OF-AGE TALES, NO STORY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANOTHER AND NO ONE IS THE NARRATIVE FAVOURITE. IT AIMS TO UNIFY THOSE WATCHING THROUGH THE MEMORY OF FEELING, NOT THE SPECIFICITY OF EXPERIENCE. EACH CHARACTER IS GOING THROUGH THEIR OWN DIFFICULTY WITH GROWING-UP BUT FITTING ROOM HIGHLIGHTS HOW NO ONE DOES THIS ALONE AND HOW WE LEARN FROM EACH OTHER CAN AT TIMES BE THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSONS OF ALL.

Nothing Belongs To Me Alone

This is the treacherous tale of a man knowing too little of what he wants and a woman believing too much in what she hopes to be true. Their story centres connectivity, the sweetness of feeling and how small actions can build a picture that is overwhelmingly big and increasingly mythical. Uncertainty courses through its veins but here it breathes. This film is made up of the hours of VHS footage that couldn't make it into the 30-minute-long film Fitting Room that will follow it. Here we will see Callum and Imani return, in a few months after the world of Nothing Belongs To Me Alone ends. Its title is borrowed from a poem I wrote. The documentary aspects also capture the filming of Fitting Room and allow the relationship between these two people to play amongst reality.
