Nathan Miller is Five From Thirty
Biscuit Filmworks director Nathan Miller launches his latest short film Five From Thirty.
)
Upon turning 25, Darnell can not shake the feeling of under accomplishing as he steadily approaches 30.
It seems as though everyone is doing better than him, based on social media. Whilst working a shift at a boutique hotel, he meets a very successful actor who dispels the myth.
Five From Thirty is a film about a young man's definition of success. The film plays on the fact that social media allows users to curate the look of their life but fails to shine a light on the users' day-to- day realities and happiness. Darnell's perception of success is determined by the "successful" people he sees on social media. Completely fabricated.
Says Biscuit Filmworks director Nathan Miller: "This film was conceived when I had just turned 25. A peculiar year, being young but that much older. People often have a quarter life crisis as you steadily approach your thirties. I spoke with many of my friends about what they want from life and how this age has highlighted all the things they want to achieve and haven't."

"Social media made people feel even less adequate, constantly seeing people live “better” lives than them. I think there is a constant need to show others how well you’re doing when the reality is the majority of people are navigating themselves, just trying to figure it out.
Through my line of work, I’ve befriended people who are in the public spotlight and are deemed very successful. In the light, they seem to have it all figured out but the reality is they’re in the same positions as everyone else their age. Money is a measurement of success for many but what’s clear is, it doesn’t define the person. Success to me comes down to inner peace and happiness. I wanted to create something that would put all these misconceptions on screen and open a discussion."
