Carl Stefano is looking for an escape. An escape from his past, an escape from his addictions, and an escape from himself. His search is stopped short when he meets a young hitchhiker promising him one last fix. But, he will soon learn... When looking for One Last Kill, no debt goes unsettled. Written by James D. Lamond, Johnny Saurette and Erica Looker Directed by James D. Lamond Cinematography by Paul A. Turgeon Starring Stephen J. Pendergast, Erica Looker and Dan Bouchard

Imagine a world without books... A young boy leaves behind his holographic entertainment and explores the abandoned old shop fronts outside. Down a forgotten alley he discovers the last ever bookshop. And inside, an ancient Shopkeeper, who has been waiting over 25 years for a customer... This 20 minute short film promotes the plight of independent bookshops through a fantastical fictional narrative. A timeless and atmospheric short tackling a pressing topical issue. Filmed on location in some Kent and London's beautiful, historic (and endangered) bookshops.

A dark tale in which a successful novelist is unbalanced by an assured young female fan.
