A SHORT FILM
After a life-changing incident in a pub toilet, Christian Stoner, loveable rogue and absent father, wakes to find himself in a vast hanger-like space - empty except for one other occupant; his former Geography teacher, Mr Samuel.
As their conversation unfolds, Christian discovers that neither Mr Samuel nor this strange space are entirely as they appear.
Is Christian trapped forever in this mysterious zone? Or can he persuade Mr Samuel into an audacious escape back to the family he has so foolishly taken for granted?
A cosmic black comedy starring Samuel Anderson and Charlie Creed-Miles and featuring T’Nia Miller.
Meeting Mr Samuel was written and directed by Rob Leggatt and produced by Tim Katz through Knucklehead, London.
