The story focuses on broadcaster Claire Jones who decides to spent her final moments alive on air, until an asteroid blast kills her signal and the rest of the world with it.
“Dee’s brilliant script enabled us to create a poignant, singular moment in an overall dramatic story arc. I was delighted to work with Dee, Grace, Luca and the supporting cast who all really invested in bringing this moment to life. We’re proud the film was made by female filmmakers and filmed and produced in Wales”.
