"Still can’t believe they disappeared without a word."
Delving into darkened corners, office blocks and underground safes... we follow an eclectic set of friends, colleagues and strangers alike. All blissfully unaware of what is actually hidden in plain sight.
Guildhall School presents this annual series of short films curated by professional writers for the returning screen project. Throughout the spring term, the cohort transformed into a film production company, designing, constructing and performing in the School's largest cross-degree collaboration to date, bringing these compelling stories to life on screen.
