Pop Down

Struggling with a quarter-life crisis, Jess feels like there is no one in the world she can talk to. That is when Alun turns up at her window asking for a tour guide for his intergalactic holiday in Wales.

Why we chose this film.

This quirky, heartwarming short film uses a creative premise—an unexpected visit from an alien—to explore the loneliness of a young woman struggling with her mental health. We hope the film reminds viewers that even brief conversations with family, friends, neighbors, or strangers can strengthen our sense of belonging.
