FROM UP ON A HILL

Gunman Teddy tracks bloodied footprints through the white Yorkshire vistas, before finally finding his target: his former friend and protégé, Billy. As Billy lies mortally wounded and resigned to his fate, a darkly humorous encounter takes place — the two discuss friendship, futility and the benefits of a hot brew in the coldest moments.

"We knew we did not have long before the snow would melt, so we made the calls, and 48 hours later we were filming. It was a film shot very much on the fly, with a small team — cast and crew totalling just six members — working collaboratively to discover and construct the story we were trying to tell. The total shoot time was just less than 10 hours, and I will forever fondly remember that brief period: six people focused and united, all freezing together in the snow."
