Cold, Dark Matters

This is the story of one man’s infatuation with an abandoned shed, that according to one curious stranger, will soon be blown up.

There’s a shed in that field. It’s long forgotten. Unloved some would say. There’s nothing really important about that shed. After all, it’s just a shed… Or is it? This is the story of one man’s infatuation with an abandoned shed, that according to one curious stranger, will soon be blown up.

A satirical dark comedy about rural communities, isolation, and faddism, Cold, Dark Matters delves into the murky underwaters of a community in Cornwall and its new resident whose desire for a rural retreat may not be all that they seem…

“Beautifully written, structured, and performed… Loved it!” – Mark Jenkin (BAFTA Winning Film Director of BAIT and ENYS MEN)
