Third Star

Showing at the Edinburgh International Film Festival: Third Star, directed by Hattie Dalton

Synopsis from the EIFF website:

BAFTA-winning short filmmaker Hattie Dalton makes an auspicious feature debut with this poignant but still screamingly funny paean to making the most of life – while you still can. James (Benedict Cumberbatch) invites his three closest friends to join him on a road trip to his favourite place in the world. Like many an impulsive group holiday, however, the undertaking proves fraught with practical difficulties, surreal encounters and emotionally ravaging revelations... With a vibrant, witty and insightful script by Vaughan Sivell, and a quartet of excellent lead performances from the UK’s finest young actors, this is a moving, pertinent and unpredictable film, and a fantastic showcase of new and promising British film talent.

Short Film: The Banker

Available for viewing online: "The Banker," directed by Hattie Dalton

Starring an unrecognizable Michael Sheen, "The Banker" won the 2005 BAFTA for best short. Just in case watching short films is A-OK at your place of employment, you probably won't want to watch this one within earshot of your boss.

"The Banker" and a couple of Dalton's other short films ("Just One of those Days" and "Internal Turmoil of the Plastic Kind") are available for viewing here.
