Cowboy Ben(2014)

Overview

A (very) dark-comedy that explores the effects childhood abandonment can have on an adult life, Scott Rawsthorne and Jon Shaikh’s Cowboy Ben is a short bound to shock and enthral those that view it. Essentially a two-hander between two stalwarts of British television (Shaun Dooley and Ramon Tikaram), the success of this 8-minute film balances on their powerful performances – a burden their wealth of experience can easily handle.
