James Welland

THE LAST MINUTE – 2000

35mm anamorphic , Venom Productions Limited, Palm Pictures. Dir: Stephen Norrington, Starring: Max Beesley, Kate Ashfield, Tom Bell and Jason Issacs. An outlandish dark roller-coaster ride of a film, following the main character's rise from fame then descending into a world of low life and talent agents, which won a Fantasporto directors week Special Jury Award for the Director. I was playing with a harder edge to the photography, using unfiltered primos and fast stock on the one hand, and relatively soft fluorescent and bounce lighting on the other. The movie clip is from a roughcut - apologies for the sound.
