Last weekend I returned to Aberdeen to meet up with a friend. This short film is based on my trip back up north and is dedicated to such friendship.
I have tried to maintain some sort of narrative to this short film, though some knowledge of my past life and my various interests would no doubt help in aspects of appreciation of this film.
