City Lights

2014, 12 minutes

A man reunites with his father.

This is a short film based on, but not directly referencing or including, a song - namely "Solsbury Hill" by Peter Gabriel. The story revolves around Callum Hanson; a lay-about everyman with little or no ambition to become anything more than what he is... until he receives a letter from his father, Michael McDowel, who left him and his mother, Carol Hanson, when Callum was very young. The letter calls for a meeting up on Solsbury Hill, which we plan to use as a primary location, which could jeopardies his already unstable relationship with his mother. On top of that, it would call for him to quit his job, his only security and source of income and his friends, specifically his good friend Spencer, discourage the meeting.
