remarkable way to shoot a film

THE LOST is a low budget film (almost nil)when I watched this film at a preview screening I was told that it was shot entirely in 48 hours. I was amazed at the result, very strong performances, gritty direction amazing production values, and to top it off a Peter Cushing Recording! Fantastic. Brilliant example of how to shoot an independent film. 48 Hours! Amazing!

Neil Jones works wonders on the budget he gets, Stuart Brennan again shines in the lead role of a Neil Jones film, they're fast becoming like a DeNiro, Scorsese partnership! Fantastic supporting performance from Edward E White and Joe Daniels.
