Jodie
A film by Seb Tabe
16-year-old Jodie finds freedom with her older boyfriend Danny, who persuades her to assist him in the spiking and robbery of a lonely, local man, Mark; under the pretence of prostitution. 

Seb Tabe is a writer and director, born and raised in London. He marries gritty and raw subject matter – influenced by the world of his youth – with a European arthouse cinematic craft that is intoxicating, unsettling and a fresh perspective on timeless and universal dramatic questions. ‘Jodie’ is his debut narrative short film. He is currently developing his second film.
