A Straight 8 Film that Will directed in collaboration with the production company Knock Knock Productions.
Straight 8 is a global filmmaking challenge that requires participants to create a short film using a single cartridge of Super 8 film, without any editing, retakes, grading, or post-production
Story: When a fiercely competitive croquet player unexpectedly falls for his opponent just before the Surbiton Croquet Club Finals, his focus – and sanity – begin to unravel. What follows is a wonderfully absurd descent into chaos, set against the calm, clipped lawns of suburban England.
Will leans into the tension between high drama and genteel normality, creating a world where passion and panic collide in pastels. With its punchy colour palette, nostalgic 1980s styling and natural light cinematography, Knock Out is a playful, visually rich exploration of obsession, attraction, and the delightful absurdity of losing control
