It also stars James Wood, who is studying on the BA (Hons) in Politics and International Relations.

The film is directed Alfie Court and produced by Lisa-Nicole Lhermette, both of whom are studying on the BA (Hons) in Film and Drama.

The supporting crew include Chad Lee Brown, also on the BA (Hons) in Film and Drama, and Henry Davies, an alumnus having completed the BA (Hons) in Film.

The premiere will be on Sunday 23 June 2019 at 2pm in Grimond Lecture Theatre 2. Tickets for the event cost £2 on the door, with further donation buckets at the event.
