The Fall

Jockeys face physical obstacles daily, but the invisible obstacles which lie ahead are often the hardest to negotiate.
Tom has faced many rivals in his ten year career as a jump Jockey. Some have been faster, stronger, younger, wiser; but now he faces a different rival. A silent and anonymous opponent who is struggling to understand.
Falls happen in the sport of horse racing, but this fall will hurt more than most. This short film shows the issues that some jockeys face daily, in an effort to bring awareness to the viewer of the impact social media abuse has on athletes and how they feel the need to hide the pressure from colleagues and loved ones.
The narrative is centred around the aftermath of a fall at the last fence of a race, where the horse (Habitare) would have passed the winning line in front had it not been for the fall. This film aims to show the lonelier, darker side to horse racing; the brave face that must be put on and not show weakness.
The fall, the space between self and what they see, is here to highlight those struggles and how a bad result can affect everyone.
