Notable for being the first theatrical release from the Oxford Film Foundation, Privileged was a film shot by Oxford University students, starring Oxford University students and about Oxford University students.

During rehearsals of the play, Edward strikes up a romance with fellow actor Anne (played by Diana Katis) and, later, Lucy (played by Victoria Studd).
