In The Dark

Two chancers fall out mid scam …
Shot exclusively on a smartphone (and mostly lit using them too), this no-budget short is intended to be texturally uneven, to jar in the way that real life does, or Adam Curtis’s documentaries do.
Whether that’s sustainable in a longer piece is questionable, indeed it’s questionable here – but if an audience finds it to be miserable, at least that misery’ll be short-lived, as this bite-sized piece explores the class/race interface and sneaks out a few laughs too.
