You Never Listen

You Never Listen is a black-and-white, three-minute film about an eight-year-old girl called Shirley who escapes from her life one afternoon. Frustrated by misunderstandings at home and hostility out in the street, Shirley sees her chance to escape and, impetuously, takes it, running away from the world that she knows; never looking back.

U.K., 2005, 3 mins, 16:9, digiBeta/DVD
