THAT'S A WRAP!

Stand by for “THE CHOICE”, a devilishly delicious new short written by Tim Whitnall and (the film’s director) Paul Hendy, Evolution Productions. Co-starring Rita Simons, Alex Macqueen and Ross Harland the film charts the rise and fall of a present-day reality TV star as her dubious past catches up with her. Examining how and why so many people pursue public notoriety, “THE CHOICE” will leave you asking BIG questions long after you’ve enjoyed its diabolical disclosures. Currently in post-production, the film is scheduled for entry into international festivals later this year.
