THE MOUNTAIN 

Director, Short Film, 2022

Matthew is tired of feeling down. He wants to get help, get milk, get back to normal. But his relentless inner voices are not going to make things easy. In fact, they’re going to make sure it’s an ice cold uphill struggle all the way. 

A dramedy about mental health, commissioned by Sky and Sugar Films, featuring the voices of Shirley Henderson (Harry Potter, Trainspotting) and James Lance (Ted Lasso) and Vanessa Baffoe as herself.
