World Cup may be over for England, but the collective experience of going to watch a match at your local pub or at home or wherever, and seeing friends or meeting new people and bonding over your shared experience of a match… all serves as a reminder of how football can bring people together in this way.
That was the sentiment that we wanted to convey with our latest short film, made in collaboration with writer-director Charlotte Regan. She’s someone who regularly plays five-a-side ⚽️ and so why not document a filmmaker - a female voice in film - in their natural environment? Someone who brings a football to set so people in her cast and crew from different departments can mix and get to know each other, who may not otherwise get the chance to.
Playing footie is a part of Charlotte Regan’s collaborative process and that’s what we wanted to celebrate in this film - which you can now watch online 🔗 above
As with any creative endeavour, it takes a herd of people to bring it to fruition - so here are all the lovely people who helped make this happen. Thank you ♥️
