Resolution

A short film about growing up — when the world doesn’t make sense yet.

Resolution is a poetic 10-minute film set in the North of England, exploring identity, race, gender, and the quiet weight of becoming.

Told through a powerful monologue by 15-year-old Kairos, the film blends raw Northern realism with stylised visual language — where martial arts and Eastern philosophy become metaphors for resilience, control, and inner strength.

It’s not just a story about youth.
It’s about pressure.
Belonging.
And finding clarity in the chaos.

The Approach

Rooted in real experience and written from lived truth, Resolution merges documentary-style authenticity with visual influences drawn from 1980s music culture.

The result is a film that feels both grounded and elevated — intimate, but cinematic.
