BREAKDOWN | Short Film (2021)

When a man's car breaks down, salvation doesn't quite come in the form he was hoping for... ‘Breakdown’ is the award-winning, debut comedy short-film from writer-performers Sy Thomas and Oliver Britten, and director Dominic O’Riordan. Anxious, late, and stranded in the middle of nowhere; a desperate motorist (Sy Thomas) calls on the only help he can find in the shape of a hapless local mechanic (Oliver Britten). Thrown together by circumstance, trapped in the pressured confines of a stationary vehicle, the two mismatched characters teeter uncomfortably on the brink of breakdowns both emotional and mechanical.
