French Toast II
Following on from the award-winning short, French Toast. Jada, Tai and Sheridan survive London's COVID-19 2020 lockdown through daily Zoom lunches while WFH. After Tai's devastating secret tears the group apart, Jada must come to terms with her 'picture-perfect' life and her fiancé Simeon has a lot to answer for. It also explores the nuances of institutional racism.

French Toast II
Director Statement
This story was born out of freedom and memes. Balancing watching the news with scrolling Instagram and laughing at sketches, then wanting to spread joy whilst the world was in a juxtaposed state of chaos and stillness. Despite being a Key Worker, Lockdown 1 in 2020 gave me the space to be creative with no other responsibilities. I wanted to tell a small slice of the stories Covid forced on us, infused with comedy and amplifying the collective voice that united humans to support Black lives and the need for equality worldwide.
