2026 · 5 min

1974. A Smoke filled Sports Bar. Love is like a game of pool. “Magic 8” is a 3 minute short film shot on Super 8, which explores what happens when making a queer connection in a stereotypically “Straight” space. It follows two men (referred to as Solid and Stripe), who engage in a game of 8-Ball Pool. As an audience we get the impression this is a regular occurrence for our two characters, but there is a mutual understanding that none of Solid’s inner dialogue could ever be said out loud.

Sitting in Zoe’s beat-up Beetle, two girls chomp on their fast food. At no point do they look at each other. We don’t know why. They don’t acknowledge their rather… interesting attire. We don’t know why. But what they do is talk- about life, London, and pigeons. Having moved from France and a small English village, the girls have long dreamed of coming to the city. But now that they’re here, they’ve found themselves lost in the smoke. Zoe and Lady must push through the loneliness they both feel, and perhaps, in doing so, realise that yes - they are lonely in London. But they are lonely together. Flying Duo explores what it means to live in a new country, and the loneliness of migrating to a big city.
