Animated and directed by myself and written and co-directed by Yero Timi-Biu, Beneath The Surface is a short film about two best friends growing up in the same world but experiencing it completely differently.

At a hair salon in East London, 30 year-old Cherelle and Minomi reflect on their complex and distant twenty-five year relationship, plagued with micro-aggressions, prejudices, heartbreak and realisations.

Created for Channel 4's Random Acts, the film premiered on Aug 28th 2017 and is currently being submitted to festivals.
