Projects - 2008:

City (2008) - short film written and directed by Alex Edwards. DOP - Stuart White, Sound - Chris Armstrong, Cast includes Vee Vimolmal, Alex Edwards, Andreas Lysandrou and Rick Lennox. Synopsis:

"Ex Lehman Brothers and Ex Andersen employee turned actor / filmaker Alex Edwards has created 'City', a short film which encapsulates the harsh, sexual and raw nature of the financial world. Set in the near future deep within a cosmopolitan financial metropolis, this story follows our heroine on a journey towards her ultimate goal. The audience, innocent to this goal, will travel through an imposing night time cityscape and witness a thriller which leaves them actively questioning whether the actions are materialistic, ethical or whether sexual desire supersedes any corporate responsibility. A timely story in a world of financial turmoil."

Currently in Post Production with Nick Swinglehurst (editor) and Mark Horwood (composer) on board this short is set for release later this year.
