ABC is a new short film that questions how far we’ll go to oblige the pressures of staying productive in lockdown.
Ugly Bucket’s short film captures the horror and boredom of living through a global pandemic, distilling the frantic anxiety of this time. Full of funny, well-observed and unsettling touches, ABC – like so many of these Homemakers pieces – feels like a time capsule of this strange period; a snapshot of what it’s like to be alone together. - The Guardian
A piece that provides more insight on loneliness, fear and uncertainty than a whole month of government briefings. - Loureviews
