Synopsis

The high street as we know it, is dying.

Hector is a burdened father, a widower, and a corner shop owner with the weight of his store's survival. As the owner of The Trading Post, he is a selfless shopkeeper always trying to meet the needs of his customers.

Inheriting the shop from his mother, he moved into the apartment above with his daughter Cleo after his wife was killed in a car accident. The store now faces the threat of closure in light of a new ‘Hypermark’ opening and Hector's inability to adapt to the modern climate.

His wife’s death sparked a deep fear of the outside world and the dangers it poses. He rarely goes outside himself and certainly doesn’t want to risk his daughter’s safety out there, homeschooling her and letting her help at the store instead. He grapples with fatherhood while trying to keep the store afloat.

Cleo watches from the window as the world goes by, longing to experience what it has to offer. She adores the store and doesn’t want to lose her playground. But she longs to be normal and to be a regular kid playing outside the walls of a shop.

Synopsis

LITTLE BOXES was shot entirely on Zoom during the height of the Covid lockdown. Whilst deep into pre-production to shoot another improv-based film in the traditional, location-based sense, the pandemic struck our plans a fatal blow. Having no other option, we decided not to concede defeat and made the decision to create the best, most realistic project we could with what we had at our disposal, under the most difficult of circumstances.

LITTLE BOXES is a drama about how governmental decisions during the pandemic affect the lives of ordinary people in a small corner of Northern England. This hyper-realistic, performance based film takes you on a journey through the world of video calling, observing the strain on relationships through these tiny Zoom windows - their own "little boxes" - and the pressures of enforced incarceration.
Isolated by the virus, the whole world has had to find new ways to communicate and hold our loved ones close - these issues are universally relatable.
The pain of separation. Together, yet apart.

LITTLE BOXES proves that necessity is the mother of invention and that art will always find a way.
The actor’s own lived experience of lockdown seeps through into their characters, alongside the mental pressures we were all buckling under. This enforced style of shooting created a safe place for the characters to communicate in a way that might not have been possible in a conventional filming environment.
