Award-winning dark comedy A Dishonourable Death: at Twenty Seven Minutes Past Six is BLOK’s debut short film—a satirical, sharp-edged take on honour, heroism, and prejudice, set against the backdrop of an 1837 gentleman’s duel gone terribly wrong. Twisting class, race, and masculinity through a warped lens, the film blends absurdity and chaos into a brilliantly bleak exploration of what it truly means to be a ‘hero’.

Director J Marlow shares how a quirky family anecdote and a bit of old market banter sparked this simple, dialogue-driven short. Born from fond memories and rooted in real-life characters - Dead Bob is a guy J’s dad knew, a cadaver looking fellow who ran a pub in Northampton - the film came to life quickly with a supportive crew and a fun little shoot in Staines—making for a heartwarming, collaborative experience.
