Common

2013, 15 minutes

We're a long way from Centre Court in this macabre fairytale where a date on Wimbledon Common takes a deadly turn.

"Common" is a short film which tells the tale of a mysterious and morally ambiguous woman who lives in Wimbledon. It's the simple story of a date that takes a dark turn whilst out on the Common, and warns of the dangers of taking the wild places of the world for granted. An adult fairytale, "Common" taps into the collective memory we all still share of the monsters who stalk the darkest places in the woods; a walk on Wimbledon Common will never be the same again...
