Sausage & Chips (2022)

A local chippy owner, Herman, isolates himself as he mourns the absence of his late son. Meanwhile, his wife forges an unhealthy surrogate relationship with his employee.

Sausage & Chips is a 15-minute drama which served as the final film project I made while studying Film Production at the University of Salford.

​

In order to challenge myself and broaden my understanding of other roles, rather than writing or directing this project, I acted as Producer on the film. Although, I did receive a 'Story by' credit for the contributions I made during story development meetings in pre-production with my good friends Aleshya Easen (Director) and Reagan Rudlinton (Writer).

​

The film follows chippy owner, Herman, and his wife, Elaine, who are separately grieving over their late son. The kitchen assistant, Charlie, unknowingly becomes subject to a surrogate relationship formed by Elaine as her way of coping. After recognising their unhealthy methods, Herman and Elaine finally begin to come together and grieve as a couple.

​

The project was funded via donations received on the crowd-funding website IndieGoGo. Production for Sausage & Chips began in late-April 2022 and, on 2nd June 2022, the film, along with a special selection of six other student shorts, premiered at a public screening hosted by 3Quarter Pictures (in association with the University of Salford) at the Niamos Radical Arts & Culture Centre, Hulme, Manchester.
