- Synopsis
- Set in contemporary London, The Space Between Us follows a diverse group of theatre artists pushing boundaries to stage a bold, immersive and high-stakes production in unusual public spaces. Dominic, a guarded and idealistic director, is determined to maintain artistic integrity. Caleb, his charismatic creative partner, craves recognition and forward motion. As the ensemble navigates shifting power dynamics, hidden tensions, and personal crossroads, the pressure to succeed exposes cracks in the foundation of their closest relationships.
  
  What begins as a production about identity versus performance becomes a raw exploration of authenticity, friendship, ambition, and the fear of being truly seen. Told with humour, intimacy, and emotional complexity, the film examines the evolving landscape of creative compromise, gay identity, and the spaces—emotional and literal—that form between people.
