Scrub Me, Daddy
"I don't really understand what's going on" - Paul Ayers, father of the director, in reference to Scrub Me, Daddy.
Scrub Me, Daddy follows a girl and her best friend; her loyal kitchen sponge. Together they embark on an adventure that is as mystical as it is unhinged.
The Process
Straight 8 began in London in 1999. it’s now a global filmmaking challenge every filmmaker should try…
​
The goal is to make a great film on just one roll of super 8mm, with no re-takes, no editing, no grade, no post-production at all. You make all your final visuals only with each pull of your camera's trigger, you even make your soundtrack ‘blind’ and Straight 8 line it up to the first frame of picture. The first time you see your own film is when the audience does, if it's strong enough to be selected.
​
'Scrub Me, Daddy,' a short film written and directed by Robyn Faye and Starring Charly Faye has made the top 25 selection of the Straight 8 competition for 2024. The film will premiere on the biggest screen in the UK, BFI IMAX, on the 25th May alongside 24 other amazing films.
