New Town (2009)

Short Television Film

Writer/Director: Annie Griffin
Cinematographer: Tim Palmer
Composer: Jim Sutherland
Cast: Rose Leslie, Mark Gatiss, Max Bremer, Daniela Nardini, Lucie Crystal, Cameron Bowie, Omid Djalili

This disappointingly half-baked short film from Griffin, potentially the first part of a six-part series, doesn’t really work as a stand-alone episode, but there are enough good ideas and interesting characters in its misanthropic, satiric, and delightfully playful shell to suggest that more instalments would be more than welcome.
