DIRECTOR.
KING OF DEPTFORD
Short Documentary
Set in the heart of Southeast London, on bustling Deptford High Street, a small discount store is home to Terry — a local legend, former butcher, and unofficial agony uncle to the community he's served for decades. Shot on 8mm film, King of Deptford is a tender and heartfelt portrait of a man who’s more than just a shopkeeper — he’s the soul of the street. As gentrification reshapes the neighbourhood, Terry's warmth, wit, and constancy remind us of the enduring power of community and character.
