when emily is forced to leave the holiday camp she lives on, her friend david attempts to help her run away. events, however, spiral out of their control with disturbing results.

the highly regarded first feature of director tom harper, the most challenging art dept element of this low budget production was a cliff cave in which the two main leads hide out. as shooting took place in norfolk and suffolk (due to co-funding by screen east) we could find only one area of cliffs in the designated area and so we endeavored to build a cave in a local warehouse to match the highly individual, orange, iron stained cliffs at hunstanton. an unusual and enjoyable element to the filming was that the whole cast and crew lived and shot in the caravan holiday park the film is based in.
