About S.O.U.P Productions
S.O.U.P Productions is run by me, Theodore Stokes, an amateur filmmaker currently studying at Boomsatsuma University. I want to show my work and continue making content for S.O.U.P YouTube Channel.
Above is my first ever Short Film for my A-Level film studies course. Shot only on my iPhone 6 with no other equipment, it is very basic and low budget. just a short and goofy film made with my friends.
'Waiting For Linkoln'
A Trans Experience Poem
Based on a poem about the trans experience. ‘Waiting for Linkoln’ follows a young person reflecting on the power of names, the physical body, childhood, happiness and waiting to recognise himself in the mirror.
This is my first fully independent Short film, Directed a written by a close friend of mine, I helped to bring their vision to life. I was the producer for this as well as handling the Camera, Sound, Online/Offline editing and Colour.
