RUDY – Feature – 2022

RUDY is fifteen years old and loves to skateboard.  Living with her dad, sister and brother on a farm in rural Warwickshire, England, Rudy has become the proxy parent, filling the gap of her mother, who died a few years back.  When money becomes an issue, Rudy’s father opens the farm up as a Bed and Breakfast. Their first guest, an impossible 80 year old woman, drives Rudy crazy. She takes refuge with trips to Coventry with her beloved skateboard, and hangs out with her new friend Luke.  Luke and Rudy cook up a plan to run away together, only then is Rudy forced to face her father and their unspoken wounds.

Maia Young has been kidnapped. Her captor is toying with her – starving her then feeding her; leaving her alone for weeks then kidnapping someone else to keep her company…
But when Maia starts to get close to the new person, the captor responds by showing Maia the horrifying reason she was captured in the first place.
