Grief has many unsuspecting customers. A stoic Scottish father and his daughter sit down for a pint, 18 summers after a life altering diagnosis which changed everything and nothing at all. Through the use of interview and archive, the film contrasts between a past life of warm chaos and the cold, still, reality of the present. This short is the story behind the “local” in the pub, exploring the crippling effects of love and loss, of which we all hold within.
I am a half Indian, half Scottish filmmaker born and raised in south London. I have a great interest in factual storytelling, combining my interest with social and cultural issues and my love of cinematography. After studying documentary filmmaking, my first short, “Still, Life,” about my dad’s battle with addiction and grief, was made as my final project. It went on to win the ‘Best Short’ at DocsBarcelona and, after winning the audience award at the Edinburgh Pitch for funding, I am now developing it into a feature film.
