A dark new comedy by Sam Peter Jackson
Directed by Hanna Berrigan

'I'm a publicist, not a f***king magician.'

When popular news man Geoffrey Hammond is caught by photographers in a rather compromising position, he leaves it up to his publicist Larry (who knows all his client’s dirtiest secrets) to spin him out of what seems to be an impossible situation. As the media wait, hungry for the statement on the sex scandal of the century, the two struggle with conscience and imagination and the question looms - is all publicity good publicity?

'Plenty of rising talent… Uncannily topical too'
Independent On Sunday
