The extremely topical next endeavour from director Ben Berman ('The Amazing Johnathan Documentary').
‘The Follow-Up’ – the first comedic short film created in Covid-19 quarantine – is a strangely affecting tale about isolation and affirmation in these bizarre and uncertain times.
In the midst of the pandemic, ‘The Follow-Up’ explores what a filmmaker with a need to tell stories does when they suddenly find themselves on lockdown and all of the production industry on pause indefinitely? In Ben’s case, they start to explore the world of Cameo as a tool for human connection.
Utilising his editing background to weave together this moment-in-time documentary, Ben hits the notes of anxiety and angst we feel as we all navigate a bizarre dystopia. The result is an unusually touching glimpse into the tenuous connections forged in the solitude of coronavirus confinement.
