Potholes
Short Film
When two starkly different Somerset residents – a non-binary, female-assigned 20-something and a 60-something cis-gendered man – are both early to attend a local meeting in a village hall, they quickly find themselves at odds with one another’s world views after the 20-something discloses that they are non-binary.
Commissioned by Exeter Phoenix and premiering at their 2023 film festival Two Short Nights, Potholes is a comedy drama exploring connection in the face of conflict, all in the space of 4 minutes.
