Synopsis

The clock is ticking. You're spending your life. Purchase wisely.

But Billy Byrne (Max Beesley) needn't worry. He's young, good-looking, talented. He's the Next Big Thing. At least that's what the London Glitterazzi are saying. On the streets, in the clubs, in the Business...

But the Glitterazzi turn out to be wrong and Billy is all over in a second. His world detonates. His self-esteem splinters. Suddenly he's on a rollercoaster ride into the London underworld - a dangerous land of murderers, thieves and talent agents.

THE LAST MINUTE is a darkly comic tale of fame, delusion and the high price of failure, written and directed by Stephen Norrington. The film is produced by Matthew Justice who previously collaborated with Norrington on BLADE. The film also features a cutting-edge soundtrack boasting Leftfield, Aphex Twin, Luke Vibert and Bogdan Raczynski.
