Experiencing Interruptions?

Time Spent

Nathan quickly realises that something is off when he's faced with making an impossible decision that will affect the rest of his life. With the clock ticking, Nathan will have to decide whether to accept an opportunity of a lifetime or give up his memory of these events.

Director Biography - Rob Hutt

Rob Hutt grew up in Reading, England and fell in love with the movies his Mum used to rent for him from Blockbuster video.

Rob has always had an incredibly vivid imagination, constantly drawing the people around him into his stories. Rob eventually studied photography and video production at college and shortly afterwards won a film bursary to produce his first short film.

Rob is a family man through and through and when he's not filmmaking he enjoys nothing more than watching his son and two daughters experience the world and share his stories with them.

Director Statement

There is still a huge wealth and power divide between classes and the cost of living crisis has only further highlighted this. I wanted to make a film which examined the lengths that those with wealth and power would go to in order to sustain their lifestyle, how far corporations will go to satisfy their shareholders and what measures people desperately trying to keep their heads above water would consider taking.
