Nice Guys Finish Last

I completed shooting on Last on Sunday evening, and since then I’ve not stopped. It was a crazy few days, and the flat is a complete tip now! Gemma very kindly offered to help in an acting capacity, and the story took a new and interesting turn as a result. When I looked at all the post-apocalyptic movies around – I am Legend, the forthcoming Y: The Last Man – it was surprising to find that there are hardly any featuring women (the only one I can find is The Last Woman On Earth by Roger Corman). That can only be good news for Last. I’ll be editing the rushes tomorrow (later today, really), and hopefully it’ll be pretty good.

Last Completes Production

No sooner has it begun than it has ended, and Last has completed shooting in Bolton and Leigh. Gemma Deerfield stars as Patricia, the last woman left alive, and Paul Anderton plays Derek, the last man. Paul also wrote and directed the short apocalyptic drama, and will also edit. “It’s been something of a whirlwind, as there was very little preproduction, and the shoot itself was two short days. It was an interesting challenge to act and direct, but I had a lot of help from Gemma and Dave,” Paul says, referring to David Noble, who served as cinematographer on Last.

Last is due to be submitted to international film festivals in February.

Last – New short from Curtin Parloe Films

Curtin Parloe Films has entered into preproduction on a new short – Last. This is a short with a difference, however, as it is intended to be written, shot and edited within 7 days!
Paul Anderton, who is producing the short, said “It’s something along the lines of the 24 hour film challenges found elsewhere, except that we’re taking things at a slightly more leisurely pace.”
