Jamie

A year after the great Sudden Light (LIFF34), Sophie Littman returns with another equally disquieting story. 15-year-old Mattie is visited by strange premonitions and during a trip out of town, Mattie senses her visions could be warning that her brother’s life is in danger. A precise, atmospheric modern folk tale. With a fierce piece of acting from writer-director Esmé Creed-Miles, Jamie is a confrontational and explicit short about a 19-year-old, who’s struggling with an eating disorder, depression and is contemplating ending her life. Whilst on the train to visit her grandma, her journey is interrupted by another young woman’s death.
