PETROL HEAD
SHORT FILM // 2025
OUR FIRST FILM by PATRICK SWAIN
Trapped again in his isolated hometown, Jake, an anxious young man, must make a choice. A choice between the safety of a life he used to know, of standing still, or the danger of a high stakes rally club with his friend Yas.
An alternative coming-of-age film that deals with mental illness, finding your drive, and cars going very, very fast.
A co-production with Caged Bird and Flowstate
