Bonfires follows the story of two brothers who make money from burning waste, however the secrets and dangers of what they burn soon rise up.

I remember seeing a lot of boys, especially my friends, struggling to talk about the problems that they had going on in their lives; alongside this was a similar time when my friends were receiving back university results, there was always this black and white view that was imposed on everyone, if the correct decision was to go to university or if the correct decision was to stay. I wanted the film to highlight that there is no black or white answer when applying to university. Also, I wanted the film to raise awareness about Film in the British countryside.
