Award-nominated 15-year old filmmaker Luke Allen hosts premiere for new film Unstable

The premiere for the latest short film from award-nominated 15-year old filmmaker Luke Allen is taking place next month in the Midlands.

Based in Telford, his latest short film UNSTABLE is having a red carpet premiere event now production is complete.

Unstable tells the story of Adam (Alexander Westwood), a man whose life starts to go downhill when his ever-increasing increasing addiction starts to affect his relationships.

Made on zero budget with all the members of the cast kindly working and travelling free of charge, what was initially going to be a small screening to kindly thank the cast and crew has now led to a much larger event.

The premiere will take place on Saturday 7th December at Telford Priory School in Wrockwardine Wood from 7.30pm.

Luke goes on to explain how the short was concepted ; “The idea for the film came about as I volunteer with a charity called ROC (Redeeming Our Communities) which has led to me coming in contact with several recovering addicts”.

“I've always felt that their representation has been incorrect in media and that addicts are very rarely (if ever) presented as ordinary people who've made a mistake and need help. I hope that this film is successful in portraying them in such a light”, adds Luke.

Tickets are free with a small cost for refreshments and dress code is formal and the audience will be treated to a Q&A with the director and the film’s cast members.

All details for the premiere are available at www.lukeallen.co.uk and free tickets are available to book at Eventbrite:

Statue in the Garden is an animated short film that has the same charm and quaintness as a Studio Ghibli movie. In the film, the protagonist, Didi, has made a great leap from her home in China to the Midlands city of Stoke-on-Trent.

I really know how to pick what reviews I take on after the Midlands Movies Awards have finished. Following on my piece on Eulogy, we have another film about a family coming to terms with loss, and the impact that grieving has on the people around you.

Death is rarely the worst part of losing someone. It is the cause of a gap; an emptiness in the shape of a person that lasts long after the funeral, after the five stages of grief, after life returns to some level of normality.

Written and directed by Nadine O’Mahony, Rushed is both a love letter to Birmingham’s multiculturalism, and a grounded look at the frictions people of colour come up against every day.
