The Rooftop Club

Jamie Collins

24-year-old Camden barista and aspiring filmmaker stalled on his unfinished short

Jamie is a 24-year-old barista who frames all of London through a lens but can't bring himself to be the subject of anything, least of all his own life. He's nursed an unfinished short film and an unspoken thing for Elle across a winter of rooftop nights, terrified that saying either out loud could cost him the only home that's ever felt like one.

Elle Whitmore

23-year-old PR worker with secret podcast dreams about love and loss

Elle is a 23-year-old PR assistant who can talk anyone through their heartbreak but goes silent on her own, guarding the soft parts behind a quick wit since a breakup she never names. She has a laptop full of half-edited podcast episodes about love and loss, and a rooftop full of flatmates she's terrified to need too much before the flat drifts apart.

Theo Reed

22-year-old waiter hustling for YouTube fame, masking money troubles with charm

Theo is a 22-year-old waiter chasing a YouTube channel that's going nowhere, performing confidence so hard that nobody clocks the dodged bills underneath. He's restless and quick to charm, but on the Camden rooftop he keeps catching himself wanting his flatmates to see the broke, scared, real version of him for once.
