‘FALL BETTER’

SHORT FILM (2022)

Owusu is learning to walk again. He is in recovery from a debilitating illness and cannot trust his body to respond to him. But rebuilding a body isn’t just about rebuilding muscles: Owusu must learn to let himself fall, and fail, and face up to his weaknesses, in order to grow strong again.​

Using the medium of film itself to embody the physical and mental journeys of getting better slowly, FALL BETTER is a deeply personal story based on the lived experience of writer-director George Magner, based on his recovery from a life-changing neurological illness.

Fall Better is currently doing the festival circuit. It has been accepted into the BIFA-qualifying Kino Short Film Festival in London, the US Phoenix Film Festival and Independent Days Film Festival in Germany.

The full short will be available after it has finished the film festival circuit.
