Benjamin
Stand-up comedian and author Simon Amstell pilfers from personal experience for his second feature in the director's chair, which contrives a bittersweet romantic comedy on the streets of London. Benjamin (Colin Morgan) enjoyed critical success with his debut film but he is plagued with self-doubt as he prepares to unveil his follow-up, No Self, at the London Film Festival. Socially awkward best friend Stephen (Joel Fry), who is failing to make waves on the stand-up comedy circuit, pledges his support to Benjamin as the film's premiere approaches. During a night out to escape his insecurities, Benjamin becomes transfixed by handsome musician Noah (Phenix Brossard) and sparks of romance kindle something deeper. Alas, Benjamin's self-destructive streak threatens to undermine the relationship before it has begun.
