Watch the trailer for HELD.
Charles is brutally attacked, leaving him traumatised. His shame of being a helpless victim prevents Charles from reaching out, he makes it back to the safety of his own home and the one person he knows will not judge him isn’t answering the door.
HELD is premiering at @boltonfilmfest on the 6th of October.

HELD - A teenage boy struggles to accept he’s the victim of a brutal and humiliating attack.
It’s been a difficult yet fulfilling and humbling journey. Thank you @bfinetwork for your guidance and support, and to everyone who supported us throughout the way, despite the pause during covid. We could not have done it without the entire crew and casts dedication, commitment and perseverance.

Throwback to last weekend’s shenanigans at the McNandes home. Some R&R for mummy and daddy while the little munchkin is asleep.

Found a new way to take blood pressure readings. What do you think? It actually matched the reading that I took on my arm.

Throwback to our last date night at @thecinnamoncollection before the storm sets in.
Wonderful atmosphere and amazing food by @chefviveksingh . The Tandoor Mango Gimlet cocktail was spectacular!

A long overdue post! Two weeks ago today, we wrapped on @heldshortfilm
Three years in the making (or for some of us four years) with several bumps in the road that we had to fight our way through. Nevertheless we did it as a team @tobywharton@silviafelce@laura.seward.dop
In the end, we had an incredible team on board! From the bottom of my heart thank you to all our cast and crew involved, including those of you who helped us so much behind-the-scenes. We could not have done it without every single one of you.
As a filmmaker my key take away from this production is dedication, perseverance, humility, teamwork and communication.
Now onto to post production which we are thoroughly looking forward to as we also have an incredible post team on board @lesleyposso@chaddesignssound@petergregson
Stay tuned for screenings and our festival run. Please help us spread the word about @heldshortfilm . The log-line is “A teenage boy struggles to accept that he is the victim of a brutal and humiliating attack”.
