BORROWED TIME tells the story of the unlikely friendship between a hapless young burglar, Kevin (Theo Barklem-Biggs– The Inbetweeners Movie, BBC’s Silk series 2) and his eccentric victim, pensioner Philip (Phil Davis – Quadrophenia, Vera Drake, Brighton Rock, Whitechapel, Silk). Desperate for cash and short on options to pay back local tyrant “Ninja” Nigel, Kevin breaks into Philip’s house, only to be held hostage by the old man at gunpoint.
What follows is a bittersweet comedy about growing up and rediscovering youth in parallel, as the burglar and victim form a bond that will help them both find a way out of their respective troubles.
Promising new film maker Jules Bishop, elicits effortlessly natural performances from a fantastic cast featuring Juliet Oldfield (Bronson, The Knot) and Warren Brown (Byzantium, Homefront), and including young, up and coming British talent Andrew Ellis (This is England) and Jumayn Hunter (Attack The Block, Quartet).
Making its debut at the Edinburgh International Film Festival last year to critical and audience acclaim, BORROWED TIME has proved so far to be a true crowd-pleaser in that it offers the perfect antidote to the bleak, and hopeless “urban youth” films of recent years, where young people are feared and vilified. Full of heart and hope, it is about friendship, community and how the strongest bonds can be created in desperate situations.
BORROWED TIME was produced by BAFTA-nominated Parkville Pictures through the award-winning Film London Microwave training and production scheme
Cert: 15 TBC Running Time: 87 minutes
