TRAILER TALK: Blood Money

This British film was produced Luke White and Ed White, written by Emmy award winner Rosy Deacon (Shards), and stars Ollie Barbieri (Skins, Anuvahood), Klariza Clayton (Skins, Harry Brown) and Scott Chambers (Chicken, The Hippopotamus), as well as debut performances from Sabrina Hansen and Nicholas Bourne. It was shot in just two weeks on location in Normandy, France.

 

Upon viewing the trailer I’d never had suspected it was filmed on such a tight timeline.  The production value keeps this from looking cheap, despite the fact that I’m unfamiliar with the filmmakers and cast.  That said, this is clearly an indie–but a well-manicured one.  It lacks the “rough” edges and untrained appearance of most indie submissions I receive.  Lending more to its promise is that the editing and acting are befitting of a reputable film.  It doesn’t appear to be rich in effects or gore, but that doesn’t appear to be its style.  This strikes me as more of a thriller.  And while that might not be my cup of tea, it should appeal to others.
