I Stood Up was the winner of the 2008 Smoke and Mirrors 48 Hour Film Competition.


The film was based around the word "luck" and it alludes to the 7/7 London tube bombings. It shows a man as he deals with survivor's guilt after giving up his seat to a fellow passenger on that tragic day in July.


Giving up your seat on your daily commute to somebody who is less able is seen as common courtesy. But what if this simple act becomes a matter of life or death?
