Middle Aged

This 10-minute comedy-drama is probably my favourite short film I’ve made.

The Futility Of War

Two medieval soldiers turn up to the wrong field on the day of a Great Battle.

Steal His Heart

This short film, about a girl who steals her postman’s bike, has over 2 million hits on YouTube, and was featured by BBC Big Screens and Virgin Media Shorts.

Fox

The story of a young musician who runs away from his controlling father, forcing the old man to re-consider his priorities as he faces his lonely retirement. Oh, and they’re both foxes.

Fun Spoiling Harry Potter

As hundreds of Harry Potter fans queued up at midnight to buy the final book, we surprised them with fake spoilers they thought were real. It was very, very fun.

There’s plenty more fish in the sea… but what if you don’t fancy fish? This video won three awards, including Best Film, at the UCL Film Festival 2009, and was a Virgin Media Shorts ‘Pick Of The Week’.

Origami Birds

We hung 1,000 origami cranes in a tree at midnight as a free public art project. A newspaper report the next day called it “vandalism”, but noted that an onlooker said it looked “beautiful”. This was a BBC Big Screens ‘Film Of The Week’ and was screened at Bestival 2012.

House of the Rising Egos

A 24-minute comedy-drama about life in a student house. This new version features seven minutes of brand new scenes filmed especially for this re-release.

A.k.a. “Lazy Sunday UK”, this rap song about life in England was the UK response to the Saturday Night Live “Narnia rap”. It has millions of hits online and was shown on the BBC, Channel 4, ITV, Sky, CNN, UKTV Gold and more. Motherfuckin’ tea.

The Free Show interview

We sat down with thefreeshow’s Steve Dew Jones to talk about growing up in Cambridge, comedy, music and massive knobs. Produced by comedy gods Leon and Keir Menzies.
