101 Films Intl. has secured worldwide distribution rights for World War II adventure film “War Blade,” starring Joseph Millson, Paul Marlon (“Trigger Point”), Michael McKell and Rebecca Scott. The sales company is presenting the film to buyers at the European Film Market in Berlin.
The film was written and directed by Nicholas Winter.
“War Blade” follows Robert Banks, an agent of the British Special Operations Executive, who is tasked with rescuing a French resistance fighter from a hidden Nazi bunker. With the help of a German nurse and a ragtag group of allies, Banks must journey to the belly of the beast.
With his commanders already suspecting the bunker holds much more than prisoners, and a group full of fragile personalities to deal with, Banks faces dangers from all fronts. Always outnumbered and outgunned, Banks and his group must use their guile to outwit the enemy and survive the deadly mission.

As the Bootleg Film Festival opens in Edinburgh, we talk to director and producer Greg Hall about the workshop he's presenting there, his new film, and his production company Broke But Making Films.
Greg Hall on set.
Greg is passionate about making films; his enthusiasm infuses everything he has to say. Communion is his fourth feature, the story of “a priest burnt by his faith who turns into a vigilante and takes to the road” before meeting Maria, a Mexican punk. He describes it as an odd couple tale, written by himself and lead actor Paul Marlon, who also collaborated on his award-winning short film Bruised. Like that film, it was put together with impressive speed – developed as an idea in May last year, crowd funded in July, shot in September – and it's due to be released in August.
“We're self-releasing,” Greg says, explaining that this makes it possible to bring out.
