FAREWELL SHE GOES (2021)
FAREWELL SHE GOES is a period drama short film surrounding two young women who sneak away from their strict stately home existence to lay their pet canary to rest.
One white and one mixed race, these are cousins bonded by more than blood. Stood at the cusp of the ocean, it soon transpires that one of them is pregnant, and they contemplate what should be done.
The film was shot during the COVID-19 pandemic under strict safety conditions, and premiered at CREATING THE FUTURE WE WANT in London in early 2022, an event pioneering the next generation of female filmmakers.
FAREWELL SHE GOES was written by BAFTA Rocliffe winner Claire Tailyour, produced by Savannah Power and stars fellow producers Cat White and Isabella Speaight. The cinematography is by Evelin Van Rei, and Segun Akinola composed the score.
