Black Pond by Tom Kingsley & Will Sharpe – at cinemas
David Knight - 15th Nov 2011
Tom Kingsley put his burgeoning music video-directing career (Darwin Deez, Mujeres, Don Fardon) on the back-burner last year to make his first feature - Black Pond. Co-directed with Will Sharpe, it cost an unfeasible £25K to make - and controversially cast Chris Langham in the lead role.
Also starring Simon Amstell, Black Pond opened at selected cinemas this week to some excellent reviews ("a total delight" The Guardian). It's on a one-week run at the Prince Charles Cinema in Leicester Square until November 17th.
