BEFORE 30
Written by Tom Hartwell
Directed by Phil Croft
Performed by Tom Hartwell
Produced by Tom Hartwell
AT 30, EVERY INNOCENT FLIRTATION BECOMES A PROSPECT FOR A SHARED MORTGAGE APPLICATION.
Homeowner, parent, Deliveroo driver, where should we be at 30?
Before 30 explores the reality and generation gap of life’s milestones. With the average first-time buyer not on the property ladder until 35 and the growing trend in the temporary lifestyle of the gig economy, the prospect of ‘adulting’ has never been
less desirable.
We follow Chris, an aspiring chef - making ends meet between job applications by delivering food to people who can’t be bothered to cook.
His past struggles with
depression and anxiety resurface when faced with the prospect of facing thirty, constantly comparing himself to his accomplished Grandfather, who seemingly achieved everything so easily.
