Today Board Pen Productions is pleased to announce that it will release 7 Hours on Earth - an original British teen comedy on demand in the UK and worldwide from the 9th October.
Students, teachers, alumni and friends of South London’s own Graveney School have produced an exuberant independent feature. Directed by TV Director turned English teacher Patricia Sharpe (Growing Up Gay: Friends and Lovers, Schools Out, Rainbow) it is produced by her and fellow Media teacher Andy Lamont, from a screenplay written by Steve Smith. Rob Marshall (BBC, ITV, C4, C5, Sky, Nickelodeon) joined the project as Editor and Sound Designer, also writing the film's original music and title song '7 Hours on Earth'. The film stars many of the school's students, including Ramona Marquez (Outnumbered) who acts alongside her real-life Dad Martin Marquez (Hotel Babylon) and Karl Queensborough who currently plays the lead role in Hamilton at the Victoria Palace Theatre. Many of the young cast are unknowns but since the filming some have taken their first steps into acting careers.
Shot in 4K and crewed by determined students, the film re-works Shakespeare's classic 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' into a wildly entertaining school caper with a twist of Science Fiction. Watch the trailer at the link.
