ATTACK from Adrian Brown on Vimeo.
Steve, the leader of a local gang apprehends a neo-Nazi skinhead in a park, because he has attacked two of his black teenage friends in a nearby alley. The police arrive and take statements from Steve and the two boys. Malcolm, the skinhead, lies unconscious. As we work backwards through the story we realise that perhaps the boys aren’t telling the whole truth and things may not be as simple as they appear. Written and directed by Timothy Smith. Produced by Jana Riedel. Director of Photography: Adrian Brown. Editor & colourist: Samuel Martin. Sound design by Christiano Sossi.
