Film Public Service 2008

Separation

Directed by Sean Meehan

Insight

There's nothing more terrifying to a child than losing their parent.

Idea

Reframe dying from smoking as essentially abandoning your children.

Execution

A doco-style film where we watch as a young child bursts into tears as her mother abandons her at a busy train station.

Notes

Intense and brutal. Amazing example of how great simplicity can be! This was shot in one afternoon. Hard not to get emotional at how raw this is, It’s one of a kind and brilliant.
