Mark Duggan Films

A brief encounter causes one man to reflect on the monumental impact that an 'ex' has had on his life...but whilst living with a broken heart & a cynical worldview, can the man rediscover his once sentimental soul and reconnect with the notion that “all you need is love”?

An independent filmmaker reflects on the many challenges of working with temperamental actors and pursuing “the art life".

A story by Mark Duggan: part short film, part music video. Part 1 (Own Worst Enemy) was released online to coincide with 'You Animals' debut album, 'Crimes, Creeps & Thrills'. The 3-minute music video is set in present day Manchester and contains cameos from every member of the band, as Terence J Corbett plays a man on the verge of a breakdown. Part 2 (You Left Your Heart in the City) delves deeper into that same man's story, as we follow him through love, marriage, separation and parenthood, in a film designed to bend expectations of genre, as short film and music video become entwined. The narrative for Part 2 takes place before, during, and after the events depicted in Own Worst Enemy.
