The Bright Lights
Ally lives in a place where nothing happens and dreams of running away to a new life. There's one thing stopping her - her Dad. Ally wants to find out about her mother, but her Dad doesn't think she's ready for the truth. Set in the South Wales valleys where staggering landscapes are scarred by the remains of industry, The Bright Lights is a rights of passage story about a girl who wants to find out where she’s come from, to work out where she wants to go. Since being shortlisted for Digital Shorts Wales, Hefin Rees has been attached as director.
