Short film ‘Better’ now streaming on video channel NOWNESS

As of Friday 22nd March 2024, you can now watch our short film BETTER online, via the streaming channel NOWNESS. It was over three years ago that Zoe and I first starting working on the film, and almost two years ago that we shot it on the Essex coast. After a festival run last autumn and winter, I’m thrilled that we’re finally able to show it to new audiences online.

If you watch the film (it’s only 15 minutes!), I’d love to know what you think. Send me an email or a message on Instagram (@celestinefraser) and I’ll share it with the team.

I was honoured to be a Producer and Associate Writer on this project, but it goes without saying that the film very much wouldn’t exist without the hard work and talent of each and every member of our wonderful cast and crew. You can follow them below…
