BLACKPOOL
Short Film
2025
A young man plans to end it all in the last place that truly made him happy, Blackpool.
He's a man who has had enough. After 30 years of too many downs and not enough ups on life's roller coaster, Billy embarks on a final lost weekend in the funfair of a town that is Blackpool. The place he loved as a kid seemed as good as anywhere to end it all. Well, at least try to. Unfortunately, like so many other things in his chaotic world, it doesn't quite go the way he had hoped. In a hilarious, drink and drug-fueled romp, Billy staggers from one failed attempt to another, but then suddenly finds a reason to live in all the madness.
Directed by Stephen Gallacher
