ZERO

In a dystopian near future, The Gateway offers the only chance of survival for teenagers Zero and Serger and their younger sister Wake, who they are determined to save from the violence of The City. But when Zero’s life is threatened, she flees, taking her reluctant younger sister with her. Their brother Serger is forced to chase them down and when he does each are faced with the choice; to save only one.

ZERO is an emotionally driven chase-thriller set 5 minutes in the future; a compelling feature film of children and teenagers that acts as a cursory tale given the world’s recent brushes with populism, authoritarianism and the pandemic. Written and directed by BAFTA nominated filmmaker Faye Gilbert, financed through Microwave, with support from BBC Film, BFI and Film London. ZERO is currently on its festival run, however its forerunner, THE LINE, Basoah and Gilbert’s first collaboration, is a Vimeo Staff Pick and available here
