Dulse
2025

Short film
15 minutes, 45 seconds
At a party in West London, outsider Morgan drifts through a crowd of young creatives, quietly observing the blurred lines between authenticity and performance. As egos flare and irony disintegrates, Dulse exposes the absurdity of trying to be unique—and liked—in a world that demands both.
