SOMEONE ELSE’S MOVIE is just what it says on the label: Each week, an actor, director, screenwriter, critic or industry observer will discuss a film that he or she admires, but had no hand in making.
Hosted as genially as possible by Norm Wilner.

Stars: Rebecca Callard, Nabil Elouahabi, Lara Sawalha
Directed by Neville Pierce
Written by Hannah Lee

“Superbly done” – Mark Romanek
Promise is a haunting film of loss and hope which takes an old story and sets it in contemporary Britain. “Pregnant with resonances, both biblical and political” – Projected Figures
Promise was made as part of The Pitch, a competition which offers its winner a £30,000 production budget and a trip to Hollywood.
