Description

Break The Cycle is a single-take short film for the Film & TV Charity, capturing the relentless pressure of working on a film set through the eyes of a young Runner. As chaos unfolds, we see how toxic industry practices affect everyone—from the bottom up. Shot in one continuous handheld take with a rising jazz drum score, the film creates a visceral, immersive experience that demands empathy and calls for systemic change across the industry.
