After an award-winning festival run, we're thrilled to announce the online premiere of Pet Name, directed by Dan Boaden and produced by Amille Jampa-Ngoen. This unique tragi-comedy, selected by DN as one of the Essential British Shorts from the 2022 edition of The Shortest Nights, delves into the complexities of a young couple's anxious-avoidant relationship.
Alongside the online premiere is an interview Dan Boaden, where he shares the inspiration behind "Pet Name," born from a real-life observation about the recycled intimacies of relationships. We hope you enjoy Sophie and James's story and if you want to read more about the making of the film, you can do so here:
