Mackling (Short film)

A contemporary Cornish drama. We are looking to raise additional funds for a short film set in a Cornish coastal town.

Set in a world of reclamation yards, house clearances and rural deprivation, Mackling is a social drama following the strange and off-kilter relationship between two men, Bud and Sully, as they prepare for a local funeral. 

Mackling captures a moment in time, observing two social outcasts and a world set apart from normal life. Bud and Sully exist in a very real part of Cornwall. A gritty, hard and lonely environment, existing on the fringes of society and attracting characters who have nowhere else to go. The film?s subtle and observational approach explores unconventional communities, changing landscapes, and the magical and bizarre world hidden conspicuously beneath Cornwall's surface.
