Marsden Rock

2025 · 7 min

A quiet, salt-tinged short that sits with a mother and daughter's unspoken distance, leaving a lingering ache.

Overview: Charlotte visits South Shields, her seaside hometown, with her teenage daughter Harriet. The trip leads the two into unforgiving realisation about each other, and how as you get older, things don't seem to change as much as you'd think.
How it feels: Melancholic, earnest and bleak. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Family, parenthood, identity, memory
Content: Mild language. No violence, gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
