Best In Lockdown


An Idiot Film

A Told by an Idiot and Augmented Productions co-production

A failed response to the pandemic by Sophie Woolley and Dudley Rees. 

Their assigned mission? To respond to the Covid-19 crisis. They're making everything up as they go along.  

Safe inside two separate rooms at Poplar Union, Sophie and Dudley use social distancing as a trigger, by communicating through walls.  Cameras film Sophie from behind glass doors as she attempts to demonstrate her pandemic prowess. 

Best In Lockdown – “trying to be the best at the pandemic”

The film is subtitled.
