Run Outs
Run Outs is a psychologically rich short film from writer-director Dhillon Shukla, commissioned by BFI Network and supported by Warner Bros. Studios.
Set in inner-city London, the film stars BAFTA-nominee Jairaj Varsani as Rowan, a quiet teen whose childhood game with friends spirals into something far darker. When the boys make an unexpected discovery, it fractures their bond and begins to unravel Rowan’s grip on reality.
A subtle, emotionally charged portrait of youth, masculinity, and identity, Run Outs reframes multicultural London through an elegantly haunting lens, blurring the line between memory, fear and friendship.

Birmingham, 1979. Following a family tragedy, orphaned Eva moves in with her father's estranged brother.
