833

• Watchlist

Set to the backdrop of modern day London, 833 is a feel good short using comedy drama to get everyone cheering for our protagonist Jake. Hopes and dreams have become a distant, seemingly unattainable thing of the past for Jake, and instead his life has unwittingly become nothing more than a mundane and banal existence. Destined to be forever single, and wound up in a dead end job where he answers to Mr Burrows... a bigoted bully of the highest order, Jake's future looks bleak at best! But a morning journey to work throws up a much needed tonic in Mrs Miller, a wheelchair bound lady, who sees the world through different eyes. Jake knows his destiny, and ultimate happiness lies in his hands... but can he find a way to break the perpetual cycle and channel his inner hero?! Whilst the main theme of the film essentially focuses on the daily struggles of everyday men and women, an important element also touches on the issues of how people with disabilities are viewed in modern day society, and in particular discrimination within the work place. Scene 97's premiere short film, made by the creative partnership of (Writer/Director) Vijay D. Varu and (Producer) Roger Woods.
