Fade To Black

A stylish thriller that riffs on The Third Man and transforms London into a contemporary noir landscape full of fast-talking antagonists, original and smart femmes fatales, and a River Thames that plays as big a part in the action as any other character. "Original and witty and goes like stink." - Greg Loftin, director, Saxon. The mysterious return of a deceased film icon forces media man Root Wilson - the director's obituarist - to hit London's streets in search of the truth. But powerful forces and henchmen are determined to stop Root, and he soon finds that he's a murder suspect himself ...not to mention a likely next victim. Moving swiftly between Peckham and Parliament Hill, Stoke Newington and Soho, this intricately plotted thriller is shot through with the mood of a basement jazz club at 1am. Inspired by The Third Man, it transforms the capital into a noir landscape full of fast-talking antagonists, matchless and smart-as-whip femmes fatales, and a River Thames that plays as big a part in the action as any other character.
