Philip Barantini
The Responder follows Chris (Martin Freeman), a crisis-stricken, morally compromised, unconventional urgent response officer tackling a series of night shifts on the beat in Liverpool. Whilst trying to keep his head above water both personally and professionally, Chris is forced to take on a new rookie partner Rachel (Adelayo Adedayo). Both soon discover that survival in this high pressure, relentless, night-time world will depend on them either helping or destroying each other.

After 20 years of performing in front of the camera - including roles in the massively successful Band of Brothers (2001), Ned Kelly (2003), Chernobyl (2019), and Humans (2015), to name a few, Philip Barantini transitioned into directing in the late 2010s, marking his first short film with the award-winning Seconds Out (2019), written by and starring Robbie O'Neill.

Following this, Barantini directed the BIFA nominated short film Boiling Point, starring Stephen Graham, which was then adapted into the hotly anticipated one-shot feature of the same name in 2021; both movies were co-written with Barantini's frequent collaborator James Cummings. Boiling Point saw its international debut in competition at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival and premiered in the UK at the BFI London Film Festival in October 2021. The film garnered glowing reviews from both critics and audiences, who have called the film "dizzying" [The Guardian] and "utterly compelling" [Variety], commending the film for its "piano-wire tension" [Time Out] and performances - "Stephen Graham is phenomenally mesmerising" [HeyUGuys]. It recently won four BIFA's including Best Supporting Actress (Vinette Robinson), Best Cinematography, Best Casting and Best Sound. and was nominated in 11 categories.

Barantini made his TV directorial debut when he directed the last episode of BBC's The Responder, starring Martin Freeman.

In January 2022 Barantini directed his next feature Accused which is due for release in 2023. He directed all five parts of the upcoming ITV thriller Malpractice (2023) starring Niamh Algar.

It was announced in October 2022 that the BBC had commissioned a series sequel to Boiling Point, which is due to commence filming early in 2023, with

Later this year he is due to direct 21 Laps Entertainment's The Last Drop.

Barantini's other directing credits include feature film Villain starring Craig Fairbrass.
