The Ice Lolly King

A lo-fi character study on not growing up. A young failed hockey player, has a week to sort out his future before moving back in with his strict parents.

A mumblecore-adjacent coming-of-age comedy-drama, shot on a Digital8 camcorder, that explores nostalgia, apathy, privilege, neurodiversity and gender.

Made on a shoestring budget, the film was shot by cinematographer Nicole Atalla (All That Glitters, Somewhere Else for Netflix) and scored by composer Zoë Blade (ContraPoints, hbomberguy). It is set for release on the festival circuit in 2026.
