Ridder Films, in association with Executive Producer Lucas A. Ferrara, have debuted a new trailer and poster for their award-winning psychological thriller HELP. Filmed over just 12 days at the height of the U.K.’s lockdown with a cast and crew of 20, HELP is a testament to ingenuity during difficuly times.
“A young woman’s life turns chaotic when she uncovers a deadly secret about her friend…A painful break up prompts Grace to visit her friend Liv who is living in the idyllic English countryside with her boyfriend Edward and his dog Polly. The trio start the weekend in high spirits but soon turns into chaos, as well-kept secrets are exposed and the friends come to see each other in a whole new light. Everyone has a secret…”
HELP stars Louis James, Emily Redpath, and Sarah Alexandra Marks, and includes a cameo performance from iconic boyband Blue’s very own Duncan James.
The film is directed by Blake Ridder who says: “During the UK’s first lockdown in March 2020, it pushed me to create even more short films than I ever did before. Of course, with each film you make, it teaches you something, you learn from your mistakes and understand what really captures the audience through my storytelling. Which ultimately made me decide it was time to make my debut feature film.”
HELP will be available for digital download on February 15th, 2022
