A boy goes missing

'Missing', written and directed by Phil Mash, is the second short film drama Serpents & Doves have produced. It is a contemporary and gritty version of the story of the Prodigal Son (Luke15). The film follows the 'mis'fortunes of Ben as he struggles with homelessness and prostitution on the streets of London. Missing was premiered at the Dorrpost Film Festival in the US and has also played at film festivals here in the UK, including Portobello FIlm Festival and the Falstaff Film Festival. Ben is played by David Poyner, well known for his performance in The History Boys in 2007, and is now appearing as Michael Darling in Peter Pan at the O2.
