'Mother, I cannot' is a short experimental film, shot in the summer of 2019. taking inspiration from a short story written by Laoise Mcwilliams. This experimental project was used as a sort of testing grounds for a wider idea that Lucy Bell and I had been in conversation about for quite some time. With a pre-written narration, we responded in a way that reflected the prise like structure of the writing, creating something that felt very ambitious and organic in contrast to our other projects at the time.
This project ultimately went on to serve as a strong reference and foundation for our later project, 'The Distance Between'.
Written and directed under the University of Gloucestershire
