Synopsis

New comers Andrew Lee Potts (BAND OF BROTHERS, THE BUNKER) and Bobby Barry play teenage boys who, in the aftermath of a tragic skiing accident, decide to take charge of their own destinies. Setting themselves twelve tall tasks, from robbing a bank and appearing on the front page of a newspaper, to burning down their school and punching a policeman, the boys attempt to make sense of life, death, family and friendship.

NEW YEAR'S DAY is the fresh, funny and original debut feature from BAFTA nominated director Suri Krishnamma (THE CAZALETS), written by actor Ralph Brown (WITHNAIL & I, WAYNE'S WORLD 2). The cast includes Sue Johnston (THE ROYAL FAMILY - TV series), Marianne Jean-Baptiste (SECRETS AND LIES), Jaqueline Bisset (BULLITT) and Michael Kitchen (PROOF OF LIFE).
