The Last Stop is my first film as a writer, director and co-producer. It was shot on September 2005 around North London.

The idea of the story came from a Stereophonics’ song called “I Stop To Fill My Car Up”, although I altered its basic concept to convey the meaning I had in my head. Once I wrote the script, I showed it to my friend Susan, who agreed that having both worked in other people’s projects, it was time we put our experience and knowledge together to work on own project. This is how 2tails productions was born and how The Last Stop begun pre-production.

It took us about 6 months between jobs to put everything together and finally at the end of September we started shooting. The short was shot in 4 days around different locations in North London, including the flat I was renting at that time in Camden, an abandoned railway track in Highgate and funnily, a petrol station called Last Stop!

Ironically, after the first draft, I decided to take the rain away from the story (which was present in the song), but it rained so many times that we had to find a way to put the rain back into the story!

The short was edited in March 2006 and in April it was accepted at The Short Film Corner at the Cannes Film Festival 2006 so Susan and I had a taste of the glamour and madness of Cannes. After that The Last Stop was chosen for the opening night of the Portobello Film Festival Winter
Programme and recently it has been shown at the Deptford Art and Design Festival 2007.
