A short film from England by Esther May Campbell, "September" is a poetic look at growing up with a young man who works at a fast food restaurant located beside a highway. Beautifully shot in an enigmatic and poetic style, it's subtle and magical. It's a perfect example of how a short film can create a world that takes us away and provides perspective on how people are.
