Amsterdam, NL – Richard Gorodecky tells that after a highly successful festival circuit, the acclaimed and award-winning short film Little Shit was released online at 12:00 p.m. GMT on 18/02/19. With London’s powerful brutalist architecture providing a bleak backdrop, Little Shit tells the story of Paul, a bullied and socially disadvantaged boy who looks for solace in an unexpected corner of London’s landscape.
SYNOPSIS: Paul has an attitude. He’s the kid you cross the road to avoid. The no-hoper you pray your children never be- come. But there’s more to Paul than meets the eye or the ear. A side that he only finds when he’s truly lost. Little Shit is a child’s journey to discover his and London’s hidden nature.
Movie Review: Richard Gorodecky’s Little Shit
Director and writer Richard Gorodecky and PostPanic Pictures put together a world-class crew that included James Miller, Ben Putland, Filipe Carvalho, Philip Bloom and more. Coupled with an incredible performance by the budding talent of Badger Skelton next to James Backway, Tommy Jessop and Ashley McGuire – ensured Little Shit became the arresting, yet delicate, Ode to London that Gorodecky intended it to be.
While remaining a highly personal film for Richard Gorodecky, Little Shit examines broader issues of children growing up on the overlooked edges of society.
