★★★☆☆ Borrowed Time (2012), the debut feature from Jules Bishop, is a warm-hearted micro-indie that cleanses the palate of all those overdone, dank and dull British kitchen sink dramas. It's topped off with a gleeful performance from Phil Davis as an agoraphobic curmudgeon, and Theo Barklem-Biggs (of The Inbetweeners Movie fame) as a down-on-his-luck hoodie with a heart. This character-driven drama concerns Kevin, a gormless teen living on a council estate in Stratford, who finds himself in trouble with a local drug-dealer, the utterly barmy "Ninja" Nigel (Warren Brown), having managed to lose a stash of cannabis.
Ordered to pay back the cash equivalent, Kevin decides to burgle a pensioner's house, only to find himself face to face with Philip (Davis), a blunderbuss-toting grouser, whose abode is populated with Norman Bates-style stuffed animals. Surprisingly, the pair strike up an unlikely friendship proving that, as different as they seem, they may have more...

Having made a slew of short films in recent years, and collaborated with Noah and the Whale on the immaculate The First Days of Spring, Parkville Pictures have recently been working with debut writer-director Jules Bishop on their first feature, Borrowed Time.
The film had an eighteen-day production back in the summer of 2011, with the help of Film London and the BBC Films Microwave scheme, shot for £120,000.
Fast forward a year, and the film had finally been completed, and now it’s ready for distribution. The path to distribution is of course an incredibly difficult one, especially for independent films like this one, and so Parkville have decided to become their own distributors, and raise the money for the task through Kickstarter.
Projects like these are becoming increasingly common – we’ve just recently seen the Kickstarter project for The Uncle Ruckus Movie, from The Boondocks creator, Andrew MacGruder – and they...

British actors Noel Clarke and Talulah Riley (Pride and Prejudice) will star in the romantic comedy The Knot, as a couple whose wedding day ceremony is disrupted by a series of unfortunate screw-ups, including missing bridesmaids, car crashes, and more.
Clarke co-wrote the script, and is also acting as producer of the film through his production company Unstoppable Entertainment.
Principal photography is set to begin this week in London, for a likely late 2011, early 2012 release… in the UK anyway.
The film will co-star Mena Suvari, Matthew McNulty (Control), Jason Maza (Fish Tank) and Juliet Oldfield (Bronson).
Clarke, who seems practically capable of wearing every hat, in front and behind the camera, was last seen in the crime/drama 4.3.2.1 (which he also wrote and directed), and the swords & sandals actioner, Centurion.

Here are the gongs they didn't give out on the night
In France, the Césars honour the best of French cinema; in Spain, the Goyas do so for their Spanish counterpart; and in Germany, the Lolas do likewise for German films. In the UK, we do things differently: the Baftas celebrate achievements in film regardless of national origin, making them uncomfortably similar to, and highly predictive of, the Oscars.
Which is all very well, unless you are British film-maker or actor who would, quite frankly, enjoy your moment in the spotlight once in while. Hence last night's British independent film awards, which have emerged over their 12 years of existence as the premier event celebrating British film.
The organisers of the Bifas would probably acknowledge that their awards are only as good as the British movies produced in any given year. Ever so slightly embarrassing, in other words, when a picture...
