Rankin Creative helm emotive short drama for Charity, Switchboard, the national LGBTQ+ Helpline to announce new free 0800 phone number.
This dramatic short focuses on a troubled, nervous, prospective student, Amir, struggling with their sexuality. They call Switchboard for advice which sparks a journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance across a series of phone calls to the service.
“This short was about more than telling people there’s a free phone number. I believe in the power of entertainment as a driving force behind changing people’s perceptions and tackling societal issues outside of standard advertising. This is about contextualizing issues that face the LGBTQ+ community in a way that everyone can understand.” - Jordan Rossi, Writer & Director

“At Rankin Creative we like to push culture forward rather than just creating it. Entertainment has the power to tell stories and create meaningful conversations that can change the world. I supported this short film from a very early stage as it’s a conversation we can all empathise with on a human level.” - Rankin, Founder, Rankin Creative
