Hi all, it's Nick here! It's been a while since I've uploaded here but I am super excited to be sharing my debut short film with you, Speak for Herself! I'm sure you can tell but Netflix/Channel 4's hit dystopian anthology series Black Mirror was a big inspiration for me when writing the script back in 2020. And in celebration of Black Mirror season 6 releasing today, I thought there was no better time to share the film here on TH-cam.
This short film was a real labour of love from all the cast and crew, I am so grateful to have had such an amazing team around me. Particularly as I was only 18 when I started this journey over 3 years ago now!
I really hope you enjoy the film! It would mean so much if you could share it too. If you have questions about making the film or any comments/observations then please do leave them in the comments below!
Thanks so much,
Nick

Very nice shot!!! I really like the style of how you shot it, it kinda feels like black mirror to be honest; the sounds effects. The dystopian feeling.
I red from a psychologist today there is somehow more a feeling of “watching our life” and not “feel like a true protagonist, instead see the life run by itself (meaning I have no true power of action over it)”.
That’s why we need something big, something who can help people wake up and start feeling again like they are the protagonist. I feel like this problem wasn’t existing 20/30/40 years ago, and if there was, it was called “depression”. Dunno. Anyway.
Great work!!!!
