About Fibs (2014) — A 15-Minute Drama of Jealousy and Regret on the Bristol Coast
Directed by James Sharpe, *Fibs (2014)* is a poignant 15-minute drama set along the quiet Bristol coast, where boredom and longing simmer beneath the surface. Teenager Naomi, craving attention from her ex-boyfriend Owen, manipulates her friend Josh into a reckless game of jealousy—only to lose them both. Trapped in her own emotional spiral, she retreats into a vivid fantasy of reconciliation, a fleeting escape that shatters the moment she awakes. With raw authenticity, the short film explores the messy contradictions of adolescence: insecurity masquerading as confidence, love twisted into possession, and the painful clarity that follows a failed experiment in manipulation.
Sharpe's direction captures the suffocating stillness of a town where nothing happens—until everything does. The story's quiet intensity builds to a moment of bitter self-awareness, leaving Naomi (and the audience) to question whether her fibs were ever about Owen, or just about her own loneliness.
