Frank, serving a life sentence, takes a prison job caring for aging incarcerated men with Alzheimer's and dementia. What begins as a self-interested bid for parole becomes a profound, transformative bond with fellow prisoner Louis, offering Frank a glimpse of redemption in an unforgiving place.

Frank & Louis received a standing ovation following its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. The film tells a story of redemption and humanity amid the loss of identity – whether as a prisoner or as a dementia patient – anchored by immaculate performances from Kingsley Ben-Adir and Rob Morgan.

Filmography: Late Shift (2025), The Divine Order (2017).
