K' Road Stories - Fritters
Web (Full Length) – 2015
The idea for Fritters came from a colourful old lady I once knew. She had a bus stop directly outside her house and would make mussel fritters for the passing bus drivers. She made many friends this way and it gave her a sense of connection and community.– Writer/director Karyn Childs
I had sushi once...in the 80s.– The bag lady (Verity George) begins one of her stories
Whenever I'm there [in K Road] it feels as though we all belong to the strip whatever our background and differences. The idea was to bring together two completely contrasting characters who experience a connection in a moment of shared recognition — this to me is what K Road is all about.– Writer/director Karyn Childs
