Molly is American and Noel is English. After years of long distance and a visa marriage to be together in London, the deadline for renewing Molly’s visa is on their doorstep. The only problem is they have no photos for her application that prove they're in a relationship... so they'll just have to recreate them.
I produced, directed, and edited this film written by David Brooke. The screenplay grabbed my attention with its characters, its complexity, and its subtle humor, and it was shot in London and Kent. Read below for more about its festival run and the creative team behind it.

““...perhaps one ought to highlight this film’s compact nature, and well, Mills and her co-star’s ease of character and conviction. She comes across as real and layered in her delivery. It is these two performances, and the well maintained production style, that makes Molly & Noel quite great.””
