Event Description
Event type: All Ages
A rising talent who already wowed festival audiences with ABERDEEN (KCFF25) – a powerful drama she co-directed with Ryan Cooper – Eva Thomas makes an equally strong impression with her first feature-length effort as a solo director, buttressed by compelling performances from Ellyn Jade and Star Slade. They play the film’s title characters, two cousins who end up in perilous circumstances when a night out at a local bar ends with a disturbing encounter with a local police officer. Both tested and reinforced by the events that ensue, the bond between the two young women provides a compelling centre for Thomas’ highly dramatic and deeply human story of strength and defiance.
