Get Off My Land is a short film written and directed by Douglas Ray and has been screened in 11 different festivals including Edinburgh International Film Festival.
It features a Farmer (Robert Glenister) and a young couple (Rafe Spall & Ruth Wilson). The young couple are seen walking through some open fields together, from the opening and the distance between characters we can see that there is clearly a relationship problem. As the young couple continue across the fields they find themselves confronted by an angry farmer claiming that they aren't on a public footpath and are in fact trespassing. The male confronts the farmer and believing the farmer has backed down (as he walks back to his tractor) the male gives the female a smug look and she looks relatively impressed by this outburst, that is until the Farmer turns back round with a shotgun and proceeds to shoot both characters (the man first then the woman because she started crying/screaming), then he turns to the camera and calmly states, "actually, I think this part is a public footpath" shrugs his shoulders and carries on as though nothing has happened.
