The Wee Man

Synopsis

1970's Blackhill, Glasgow: 11-year-old Paul Ferris has learned quickly that life on the street is tough. Everyone knows their place. Poverty breeds corruption, crime, violence and bullying. Growing up immersed in a culture of crime, Ferris finally snaps when tormented one too many times by a vicious gang of bullying neighbourhood brothers who have made his childhood a living hell. Now in his late teens, despite his father's advice and in the frustrated knowledge that the law enforcement and police do nothing to help, he decides to take on his tormentors alone and systematically wreak vengeance on them.

To date, ‘The Neon Pack’ has been exhibited at Sónar+D (Barcelona, 2023), the Immersive Futures Lab, SXSW, (Austin, Texas, 2023) and BEYOND, Cardiff City Hall (2022).
