Last Train by David Schofield
July's Film of the Month. In his first short after leaving uni, David Schofield made this film on the last of his graduate loan most of which was blown on good times. Shot over 4 nights between 1am and 6am in Manchester Victoria station. One night was the coldest on record that year, but is was fun in a sick way.The idea for the film came from conversations with friends about situations we had all found ourselves in at some point similar to that depicted in the short. He wanted to explore how we react/behave in certain situations given the world we are presented in the media. The film screened at a bunch of festivals including last years Encounters where it picked up 3 nominations but no awards. Its currently on tour around the globe with Encounters best of British selection.
