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 current 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. Please also check out THE LINE, our first collaboration with Faye Gilbert and the intense BFI funded forerunner to ZERO.
