With mesmeric performances and a captivating, drip-fed script, McCann Bristol and Another Film Company powerful Surfaces short for Refuge hits hard.
Starring the awarding-winning Maxine Peake and TV, film and stage actor, Lex Shrapnel, the Steve Reeves-directed film portrays a woman for whom the Coronavirus lockdown was a catalyst to escape her abusive relationship.
Playing out over 11-minutes - the duration being of importance too - the film's tight script (written by the agency’s Group Executive Creative Director Jon Elsom) and unflinching performances make for a tough but gripping watch.
