2nd Unit Director | Camera Operator

'Below-the-line contributions are exceptional, particularly those of cinematographer Glenn Hanns and 2nd unit director Shane Kavanagh, whose wartime footage is suitably immersive.'

WWI, France, 1916. When an allied charge on the German lines goes horribly wrong, Sergeant Major Arthur Wilkins (Johan Earl, A Perfect Life) finds himself stranded in No Man's Land. Reuniting with two other survivors (Tim Pocock, X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Martin Copping, Zombie Hunter), Wilkins must fight to find a way back to the British lines before the German army and an impending artillery attack wipe them out. Meanwhile, back in London, Wilkins' wife Grace (Denai Gracie) struggles to hide a dark secret that could destroy her family.
