ackee & saltfish (2014-15), digital, colour

it all began with some saltfish. on a sunday morning, two best friends head out to get some caribbean takeaway food in dalston, east london, for breakfast after rachel forgets to soak the saltfish but have mixed reactions when they realise several of their go-to restaurants are out of business; the first has been turned into a cafe, whilst the other is left boarded up. they return home in awkward silence to play a hilariously hostile game of snap before they get into a heated exchange that gets personal, as they reflect on the changes they are seeing across london. though their argument is ultimately left unresolved, they silently agree to disagree as they succumb to ordering chinese and moving on with their day.

what follows is a short film, webseries and bbc comedy feed, exploring different facets of this friendship.
