First released in 2005 under the title New Town Original, our debut feature had a UK cinema release which is an amazing achievement for a micro budget film, it was also shot on 35mm which is another technical accomplishment for a micro budget film. Now being re-released under the new title Small Town Psycho this is a timeless thriller of dealing with the threat of violence in a small town.

Celebrating the work of our dearly departed friend Darren Kent.

Join us at 8pm on Sunday 9th June for CLOSING GALA: CELEBRATING DARREN KENT

This year’s Closing Gala will be a tribute to the dearly loved and missed Darren Kent, the actor, director, writer and producer who sadly passed away last year.

Darren was from Essex and regularly supported local actors and filmmakers, helping emerging creatives. He attended the Film Festival and the Horror-on-Sea Film Festival every year.

He trained at Italia Conti and appeared in many films and TV shows, including Blood Drive, Game of Thrones, Les Misérables and Mirrors. His feature directorial debut, Abusing Protocol, the Southend Film Festival Closing Gala in 2015, was, deservedly, a sell-out.

This celebration of Darren’s life and achievements will include a selection of his short films and talks by industry professionals.

Plus Archive of Life (World Premiere / 11mins)
