Logether, they take down the whole operation. The police swoop in. Frank, Craig, and the gang are arrested. Chloe learns Craig sold her for a week's supply of coke and a few grand. Betrayal buried deeper than she imagined.It isn't the ending she expected, but it's a beginning: Safer, freer, and finally on her own terms. Six Feet Shy is a raw, darkly funny drama about survival, sisterhood, and the price of freedom; Thirteen meets Killing Eve with a dose of Trainspotting
A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR
I'm excited to bring Six Feet Shy to life because it is a film that refuses to sit quietly. Fast, volatile, darkly funny, and emotionally brutal, it pulls the audience into a world of control, survival, and female resilience. At its heart, the film is about power, how it is taken, abused, and reclaimed.
I'm drawn to stories that sit at the intersection of entertainment and discomfort, where genre becomes a tool to explore difficult truths. Six Feet Shy uses crime, thriller, and dark comedy to examine coercion, trafficking, and the quiet, systemic violence women endure, often hidden in plain sight.
Visually, the film is kinetic and intrusive, inspired by gangster cinema filtered through a contemporary, heightened sensibility. A mobile, unpredictable camera, bold editorial choices, and subjective narration reflect fractured memory and the instability of trauma. Moments of intensity are balanced with stillness, allowing key emotional realisations to land.
Ultimately, Six Feet Shy is not a story of victimhood, but of survival and solidarity. It is bold, uncomfortable, and unapologetic; a film that should hit hard and linger long after the screen goes dark.
