A BFI-funded short film based on co-writer and associate director Georgie Wyatt’s lived experience and starring a visually-impaired young actress, Kara Caldwell, in her first film role. The film is currently on the festival circuit and was made as ‘proof of concept’ for feature film BLIND AMBITION.
Under pressure from her older sister not to ruin a much longed-for seaside holiday, a young girl hides the fact that her sight is rapidly deteriorating – a lie that may alter her and her family’s life forever.
