Mortal Fools - My People

May 2021 - April 2022

Composer / Sound Designer / Audio Engineer

Evolving throughout the pandemic from a play, to a filmed performance, to a series of short films, My People tells the story of five young people as they navigate the end of school life, adapt to change and draw new boundaries in relationships with self, others and society.

“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”
