DOWN AND OUT
Directed by Max Ragan
about
Down and Out is a modern fable expressed in the horror genre language. It features the main character Joe, your average office worker. Whilst wondering the streets of London, Joe carelessly observes an epidemic of homelessness, without feeling engaged or involved at all. It is clearly of no concern to him. When Joe passes a homeless man in need of help, he rudely and arrogantly dismisses the man in need of aid. Carrying on his day like any other working class man, Joe is soon to find out that his selfish actions have consequences. Selfishness does not go unpunished.
"Extremely Gripping." - The Guardian
"A fantastic debut short film." - The Telegraph
