Chris McQueer's Hings

Series 1

Episode 3

Duration: 5 minutes

An unusual short film from the mind of Chris McQueer, starring new and established Scottish talent. Mel boards the night bus home hoping to get
her head down and catch up on sleep. Unfortunately for her, the elderly man in front of her has other plans. Rising from his chair to turn around
and face in Mel’s direction, the man begins a discussion about Flat Earth Theory. Naturally, Mel is dismissive of the man but as he reveals himself
in full possession of the gift of the gab she begins to wonder whether there may be some truth to this man’s conviction of the earth’s real nature, a
conviction convincingly claimed to have come from a journey made by the man to the edge of the atlas. What’s more, his story is illustrated by his
conjuring of an ancient map said to prove his claim. Mel is enchanted and wants to know more. She has many questions and luckily for Mel every
one of them will be answered by the map. Starring David Hayman from Taboo, and Natali McCleary. Show less
