A TOXIC RELATIONSHIP

FILM HUB NORTH, HELLFIRE FILMS & DONCASTER CREATES 

WRITER / DIRECTOR

SHORT FILM (2020)

In this quirky micro-short developed through BFI Film Hub North’s Climate Comedy Lab, a girl breaks up with her ‘wasteman’ boyfriend to pursue a more sustainable lifestyle.

Leaving behind old habits, she finds a new connection with someone who aligns with her eco-conscious values.

In 2021 Film Hub North in collaboration with ArtBomb, Doncaster Creates and Hell Fire! commissioned three short comedy films exploring imagined outcomes of the climate crisis. To coincide with COP 29 taking place in Azerbaijan, the films were launched online via the Film Hub North website.

The films were all made in and around Doncaster led by Art Bomb and produced by Leeds based producers Hell Fire! The films tackle flooding, plastic pollution, climate change and sustainability in a comedic way to find new angles on the climate emergency.
