Driftwood is the story of 15-year-old Sam, a swimming prodigy, whose life is split into two very different worlds: a poignant antithesis between talent and achievement at the dawn of his sporting career, and fear and torment in his home and social life. Starring Sam Gittins (The Smoke, Ripper Street, Howl) and Neil Maskell (Kill List, Utopia).

Long-listed for a BAFTA in 2014, selected for a Coup de Coeur at Cannes Film Festival 2013 and winner of around 20 international film festival awards, Driftwood was also screened on Channel 4 as part of their short film programme The Shooting Gallery in 2014.

 

Driftwood is represented for distribution by Shorts International.
