PUB KID
SHORT FILM
What happens when your local playground becomes your local pub?
Pie-eyed parents, lairy locals and awkward situations for a child in an adult world.
Pub Kid is yet again spending his school night in the pub. His parents are getting lairy with the other locals and Pub Kid clearly doesn’t want to be there. As Pub Kid explores the pub, he encounters multiple different people and situations that are extremely awkward.
Meanwhile, an elderly local is observing from the bar and talking to the audience about what Pub Kid is probably thinking, all whilst reflecting on his own youth.
