Hush Hush
From Samuel TurnerAbout the film:
Told from the perspective of 3 men in a pub. Two friends are mocking the main protagonist, Gav, about not being able to find a girl. He then explains to them both that, in fact, he had met a girl in this very pub the week before, Jess. The other two men are intrigued and listen in to hear the story.
Through a series of flashback sequences, we witness Gav meeting the girl of his dreams the week before. After bonding and sharing time with girl of his dreams, we learn that underneath she is hiding a secret that will shake Gav's world.
This short film is a light hearted comedy that also explores the issues of acceptance of the transgender community in working class britain and how the subject should be approached within our society.
