A girl in love, a pop star in peril and a gang on the run - watch it play out!
Director: Ian Clark
Overview
An off-beat comedy about a girl in love, a pop star in peril and a gang on the run. Ashley gets much closer to her celebrity crush with a little help from her friends. This coming-of-age story features a refreshingly irreverent depiction of disability, where the bond between Ashley’s gang acts as a vital support network, as she attempts to negotiate the tricky gap between dreams and reality. Watch it play out!
Ian Clark co-wrote and directed this short film while enrolled as student at The National Film and Television School. He later made the feature film The Facility (2011).
