Ben Pearce’s brilliant short film A Few Miles South tells the story of two arctic explorers trapped in a tent during a blizzard. But when one of them battles a strange addiction the other is faced with the decision of feeding his companion’s odd impulses or facing death outside. Pearce tells this story within a single location and with no dialogue which only serves to elevate the tension and claustrophobia between his characters. Without changing the environment too Pearce is able to create a feeling of disorientation which further accentuates the gallows humour of his character’s surreal behaviours. Dn is excited to Premiere A Few Miles South on our pages today and is joined by Pearce for a conversation about the film’s speedy production, the ease of working with collaborators like Toby Jones and Ivanno Jeremiah, and the challenge of constructing the film’s central perplexing nature during post-production.
