Down Terrace - Screening + Q&A with Ben Wheatley April 13, 2011

We’re delighted to be welcoming award winning, locally-based writer/director Ben Wheatley to Lighthouse this month. Wheatley, whose TV credits include MODERN TOSS, WRONG DOOR and IDEAL (starring Johnny Vegas), shot his debut feature, DOWN TERRACE, in Brighton on a minimal budget. The film won great critical acclaim, firmly establishing Wheatley as a major new talent and enabling him to get a second feature off the ground, KILL LIST, which generated considerable buzz following its premiere at last month’s SXSW film festival.
Following a screening of DOWN TERRACE, we will be talking about to Wheatley about his career to date and the challenges of independent low budget filmmaking. This is also an exciting opportunity to find out more about KILL LIST, which was produced with Warp Films and Film4, and to hear what Wheatley has in store for us next.
