Page 92 - Guildhall Coverage Book 2020-21

妈妈 (Mum) | Brandon Grace | Spotlight | When an overbearing mother doesn’t

understand the cultural differences in her and her son’s life, she gets frozen out,
but does absence make the heart grow fonder?

Pepper Spray | Levi Brown | Spotlight | 1984 meets Peep Show crossed with The
End of the F***ing World. A little experimental, a little bizarre but completely
genius.

Scotland – Yard | Umi Myers | Spotlight | The story of a radio DJ trying to figure
out who she is, living in Scotland but with Jamaican heritage she starts to explore
her ancestral roots.

SIX BLANKS | Sam Thorpe-Spinks | Spotlight | Juxtaposing images and footage from
the fateful day in 1981 when the Queen was shot at during the Trooping of the
Colour, Sam Thorpe-Spinks combines great design with noteworthy acting to bring
the shooter’s story to life.

Soft White Underbelly | Lily Hardy | Spotlight | You don’t need words to tell a
story. A woman running from abuse in the midst of the Corona Epidemic
tells her story through action and emotion.

SPLIT | Isla Lee | Spotlight | Trying to navigate the cruel world of dating with a
mother struggling from mental health problems, this is a moving, relatable piece
of theatre.

Three Clowns | Sonny Pilgrem | Spotlight | A poignant film illustrating the mental
health struggles of so many creatives in the industry through the art of monologue
and mime.

When You See Me | Alyth Ross | Spotlight | The delusional and occasionally
psychotic rantings of a woman’s obsession with a man whom she has never actually
met.

who, what, where? | Sheyi Cole | Spotlight | A funny mockumentary following a
new artist on the rap scene and exposing his upper-middle-class roots. And I have
never seen a Chicken Cottage that big!
