Adult Life Skills

Adult Life Skills is a feature film version of short film Emotional Fusebox and sees Rachel Tunnard back in the director's chair.

Tunnard enjoyed success and was Bafta nominated for Emotional Fusebox and Adult Life Skills marks her feature film directorial debut.

This is a movie that has been playing well on the festival circuit and we have some great new clips to whet your appetite ahead of the weekend. Check them out:

The movie sees Tunnard reunite with actress Jodie Whittaker as she reprises the role of Anna, who is grieving the death of her twin brother.

Whittaker is joined on the cast list by Lorraine Asbourne, Brett Goldstein, Rachael Deering, Eileen Davies, and Alice Lowe.

Anna is stuck: she's approaching 30, living like a hermit in her mum's garden shed and wondering why the suffragettes ever bothered. She spends her days making videos using her thumbs as actors - thumbs that bicker about things like whether Yogi Bear is a moral or existential nihilist. But Anna doesn't show these videos to anyone and no one knows what they are for.

A week before her birthday her Mum serves her an ultimatum - she needs to move out of the shed, get a haircut that doesn't put her gender in question and stop dressing like a homeless teenager. Naturally, Anna tells her Mum to BACK THE F-OFF.

However, when her school friend comes to visit, Anna's self-imposed isolation becomes impossible to maintain. Soon she is entangled with a troubled eight-year-old boy obsessed with Westerns, and the local estate agent whose awkward interpersonal skills continually undermine his attempts to seduce her.

Adult Life Skills is out now.
