TOO MANY COOKS Vinette Robinson, Ray Panthaki and Stephen Graham feel the heat in Boiling Point.
VERTIGO RELEASING
In 2019, when director Philip Barantini directed his 22-minute one-shot short, Boiling Point, with Stephen Graham playing a chef hitting rock bottom, he had no idea it would form the basis for a movie. “Then I sat up in bed one night, when I was shooting Villain, my first feature. And I was just like, ‘What if we were to do it all in one take, the whole thing?’ Not just follow Stephen but see all these little pockets of people’s lives and introduce other characters –a slice of life, basically.”
