Burger director Jim Field Smith has directed a new comedy short for Channel 4. Titled 'Home', A family of three come home from a holiday in France to find a Syrian refugee has hitched a ride with them.
Starting out as a straight comedy, the serious subject matter turns this piece into much more, thanks to some good performances (most notably Youssef Kerkour) and keen direction from Jim that shifts the focus from comedy to compassion in the third act.
