A Village with a View

Dir. Joe Inman

A Village with a View, is a living document of a small village in Cornwall. The village has existed for 80 years, being built over time by the people who live there. As the tourist industry in Cornwall explodes, the landowner wants to take the land back, and the residents have to fight to keep the houses and the community they share.

Voicemail is a story that follows a young woman making an important phone call where she learns how to say goodbye.  It’s ultimately about how we find connection when we most feel alone.

Placenta Pâté
