    Hilarious Escalation

    The film keeps you on the edge of your seat as the situation keeps escalating! More and more memorable characters keep piling their weight on the already tense situation. Definitely would love to watch it again!

    • Trivia
      Although the lead role was already cast, the director Raza felt something was missing. Overnight he saw Max Abraham on a Mc Donnalds advert. He contacted Max's agent the next day and offered him the role without auditioning him. Even though Max doesn't say a word in the advert, Raza felt that his silence spoke volumes. This leading Max to winning Best Leading Actor in the Fusion International Film festival 2020 along with Martin Trenaman as Best Supporting Role.
