“Lobo” by Charlie Reader
Deported from the UK and forced back to the drought-ridden plains of her homeland, Aline must rediscover her place in the family she left behind or drown in an uncertain future.
FROM THE DIRECTOR
“Whilst Lobo is fiction, it’s based conceptually on the experience of my wife. Having faced visa issues in the UK, she was forced to leave the country and return home to Brazil after many years away.
I was interested in creating a story about what that could feel like - having to re-discover your place within your family, a culture, and a place after so much time away. I wanted to explore the transition of going from one life you know into another life that feels much more uncertain.
Lobo is also an extension of the feature film we’ve written around the same protagonist, Aline. This short filmtakes a different perspective, but it’s the same story world.”
