HOW IT HAPPENED
Dear Phoebe follows its titular character’s summer holidays, but all is not as it should be… Drink driving remains an avoidable and tragic thief of life here in the UK (and beyond). Dear Phoebe is a film that captures the life that is stolen by drink drivers.
We shot the film in one day in locations across Warwickshire. The aim was to make the viewer empathise with Phoebe and all the potential she had, before pulling that away at the last moment.
WE COULDN’T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT…
