Oliver
Co-Directed by Camille Jones & James Crump

Based on the novel Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, our story is about an orphan, Oliver Twist, who endures a miserable existence in a workhouse and then is placed with an undertaker. He then escapes and travels to London where he meets the Artful Dodger, leader of a gang of juvenile pickpockets. Oliver is led to the lair of their elderly criminal trainer Fagin, naively unaware of their unlawful activities.
