Made In Sussex: The Bystanders

Made In Sussex Film Festival.

Pete Weir – an inconspicuous office drone – is recruited precisely for his anonymity to become a Bystander, a kind of empowered guardian angel tasked with watching over, and invisibly helping, a 'Subject'. Pete is trained by jaded Bystander Frank, who out of boredom proposes that they swap Subjects. Frank now has Sarah and Pete has feckless loser Luke, whom he hopes to transform in order to win Bystander of the Year and make up for losing a chess contest decades earlier. Hilarious rivalry ensues, as misanthropic Frank, who can only see the world through ‘Frank-tinted glasses', sets about undermining Pete's newfound success.
