An ode to loss and acceptance, The Number 30 is a snapshot of a mind dealing with death and new life.
ABOUT
The Number 30 was Bobby's first short drama. It was shot on on location in the North Pennine with a small crew and of course a small budget. The story was inspired by the passing of his grandfather, and by the landscapes that feature in the film that have a deep connection to his families home soil.
The project has done the film festival rounds and is now free to watch on Short Verse. Bobby is now in post on period drama 'The Reckoning' and is in preproduction on a couple of other drama shorts.
