Filmmaker Alexander Jeremy on ‘f r e d’

Film doesn’t have to just come in long-form content. Plenty of people, not just student filmmakers, make their own short-form films for others to enjoy. This is where f r e d comes in for those looking for more short films to get into their lives. Hailing from filmmaker Alexander Jeremy, f r e d is a look at grief.

What is f r e d about?

Given that f r e d is a short film, we can’t get too deep into plot details. The brief synopsis says that f r e d “is the story of a woman grieving over the recent passing of her fiancé. After she meets Fred, a strange man, we become certain that below the surface, this is a much darker story.”

Susie Kimnell and Sam Woodhams star in f r e d.

f r e d, which Jeremy directed and wrote, is dedicated to his friend Josh Tobias Mills, who died in 2018. f r e d was shot on only £3,000 and boasts a 50% female workforce.

With UK Film Review calling f r e d “Utterly mesmerising . . . Pitch perfect.” There’s so many reasons to watch filmmaker Alexander Jeremy’s f r e d.

You can watch f r e d on Vimeo.
