RUN LIKE WE (2024) Comedy Short Film Prime Video UK / National Film and Television School

It's the 2012 London Olympics and the whole world is going crazy for the fastest man on the planet: Usain Bolt. Everyone apart from Alvin, an awkward 14 year-old who hates sports and constantly disappoints his Jamaican father, Lester, an ex-athlete who can't understand why his son is "so soft". So when Alvin is unexpectedly nominated to represent his class in the upcoming school sports day, it could be his last chance to make his dad proud and prove that he can be just like Bolt. Starring Nathan Vidal (Bridgerton, Small Axe) and El Anthony (Casualty, Deceit, Trial of Christine Keeler).
