Free Spirits, directed by George Moore (Paul Is Dead) is a comedy-horror short film starring BAFTA nominee, Spencer Jones (The Mind of Herbert Clunkerdunk). A bashful vicar is called upon to save a haunted nudist community from a prudish poltergeist, but for the exorcism to work, he first has to bare all. 1986, Southern England. Newly appointed and out of his depth, the bashful Reverand Lee is called upon to ‘Eden Farm Naturist Community’ where a string of bizarre supernatural goings-on are threatening their way of life. Faced with pressure from the parish council to evict the nudists, along with mounting paranormal peril, Lee must confront the prudishness he inherited from his late father and interrogate his understanding of what human decency really means, if he's to save the souls of those around him - and perhaps his own. This is a film abut someone who has lived his whole life according to other people’s expectations, suddenly confronted with a fork in the road - and a crash course in what it means to be decent, human, and free.
