Synopsis
Jon Bennet (Andrew Howard) is an ideal employee: neat, efficient and conscientious. Nobody would guess that this self-conscious introvert tortures and kills to earn his living. Jon works for the Tattooed Man (David Calder), an awesome figure with cruel taste, who in return takes care of Jon. He feeds, clothes and educates his protege, asking for nothing in return but unquestioning loyalty. By chance Jon encounters Andy (Andrew Tiernan) and Cathy (Geraldine O'Rawe) - old friends from school, now married with a child. As Jon finds himself drawn towards Cathy in a way he has never experienced before, he begins to question everything that he has become. Torn between Cathy and the Tattooed Man, he becomes Mr In-Between. But the Tattooed Man will not tolerate a rival. Jon must act and fast. Everything is at stake: the safety of his friends and the redemption of his soul.
MR IN- BETWEEN is a chilling love story with a difference - the story of a hardened man who discovers for the first time his capacity to love. Unique and uncompromising, it is gripping from the start and cranks up the tension to a shocking and haunting conclusion. This terrifying love triangle is the directing debut of award winning Canadian cinematographer Paul Sarossy and showcases the startling prowess of this internationally acclaimed filmmaker. Written by Peter Waddington, based on the novel by Neil Cross, MR IN-BETWEEN is produced by Andreas Bajohara and Bob Portal from Phantom Pictures and Michael Lionello Cowan and Jason Piette from the Spice Factory.
The film also boasts a fabulous soundtrack with songs by Nick Cave, David Bowie, Lou Reed, Goldfrapp, Ash, Dreadzone, Violet Indiana, Helen Shapiro, MAD LION, the Nextmen, Lotus Crowe and Supersister.
