The film production “The Present Times” has assembled a team of executive producers and cast members for its upcoming release. Screenwriter Eric Roth, producer Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, and Andrew Upton and Cate Blanchett’s production company Dirty Films are serving in executive producer roles alongside Anne Peters.
The feature is directed by Noah Stratton-Twine and centers on two characters named Roy and Ian, portrayed by Daniel Weyman and Nick Helm respectively. The narrative follows these embittered paparazzi as they encounter the repercussions of their invasive profession when they confront an immoral scheme and a supernatural element. The supporting cast includes Paul Kaye, Raffey Cassidy, Emma McDonald, and Jay Simpson, among numerous other performers.
Stratton-Twine characterized the project as a tribute to British cinema traditions, including the nation’s tradition of developing character-driven performances and celebrating London as a distinctive film location. The director drew comparisons to the work of filmmaker Mike Leigh. This represents Stratton-Twine’s third feature as writer, director, editor, and composer. His recent co-directed effort “The Peril at Pincer Point” won the Neon Auteur Award at SXSW earlier this year and is scheduled for screenings at multiple festivals.
Production on “The Present Times” was completed in May in London. The project is produced by Dashiell Upton, Lev Petrov, Jake Kuhn, and Timofey Stolov, with cinematography by Murray Zev Cohen, who has previously collaborated with Stratton-Twine on multiple occasions. The production is being handled by Right Off Films and Gittes-Cross Pictures.
