ED COSENS - FORTUNES FAVOUR

This short film is the coming together of four individual music videos. Ed recognised the influence his native Sheffield has had on his songwriting, and how important it would be to shoot the footage there. Filming during a national lockdown and a global pandemic provided new challenges for the production team.

The opening scene sees a boy, Dominic Coffey, playing Jack, walking beside the river being reminded of a girl, Emily Barber, playing Amy. When Jack learns that Amy is leaving Sheffield for a new job, the two reflect on their romance and history in their city, revealing the impact of their mismatched memories. Fortunes Favour explores the lost love between Jack and Amy and wonders if their differing perceptions of the past can be realigned by a grand gesture of apology and vulnerability.
