(UK 2012) 12 minutes
How hard can it be to make a short film? This light-hearted documentary follows Angie and Jackie, a lesbian couple in their 50s who try their hand at making a film for the first time. With only their film-watching experience, the book Short Films by Nathan Parker and the British Film Institute’s one-day workshop Absolute Beginners to guide them, they throw themselves into the adventure and when things go wrong, events lead them to a most unexpected outcome.
Features the 3 minute short Childs Play, the product of the process captured by this documentary.
