Mortal Fools - My People
May 2021 - April 2022
“Four bitter-sweet, poignant film shorts from Mortal Fools’ Ensemble Young Company, following a group of young people navigating the reality of friendship in the modern world. What if growing up means growing apart?
Mark, Maisie, Izzy, Rhiannon and Abel all started off as strangers in this world – but somewhere along the way, they became friends. Really good friends; clicked, connected, comfortable and comrades. But recently, things have felt more complicated. Friendships are malfunctioning, everything is changing, and there are too many things left unsaid.
Co-created with young people and professional artists, each short story explores the belonging that stems from finding your people. Your people might be folks you’re already friends with or they might be people you’ve just not met yet……. You’ll know when you find them”
