Overview

The Ends was shot in 2007 over a 3 day period. It was a fast a furious shoot that took the crew all over London. Locations ranging from Alexandra Palace train station to Central London and then out to the outskirts. The micro budget film was the second film to be produced by Light Films costing £350 approx. The film looks at the issues surrounding loyalty and what happens when it’s misplaced. How actions have consequences and why sometimes we just can’t walk away.

Synopsis

We meet Steven at the turning point in his life. He has the choice to leave everything behind. Unfortunately, Jay, his oldest friend actions are going to make leaving very difficult even if he means well. Should Steven stay a help his friend yet again? Or should he just turn his back and get out while he can?
