When Tracy, an introverted and mild-mannered carer, is transferred to Newby Residential, she meets the brash and larger-than-life OAP Pauline, whose obsession with finding Gary leads the unlikely duo to plot and execute an elaborate escape.
Finding Gary is charming story of love, loss, and the power of unlikely friendships. We hold this project close to our hearts and see it as a chance to push ourselves and use the skills we’ve honed during our last three years as Film and Television BSc students at the University of York.
A heart-warming story at the centre of a passion project, Finding Gary needs your help to come to life.
We’re a team of passionate and driven students from the Department of Theatre, Film and Television and between us we’ve worked on dozens of short films and some larger scale productions. Now it’s our time to shine by helping a brilliant story come to life and making something to truly be proud of.
