Taking Life (dir. Steve Reeves)

This is the winning film in the 2012 Van d’Or Awards Best Director category. Director Steve Reeves‘ gripping short Taking Life is a taster of what we can expect from his recently completed feature Keeping Rosy starring the brilliant actress Maxine Peake.
It’s a perfectly crafted short film, but is more than that – it was made as a vehicle to secure funding for a feature which expands the story. Due to the success of the film at various awards (including ours), the team were successful in their quest to fund the feature project which was shot in Spring 2013 and due for release in 2014. The film is also notable for the 2012 Van d’Or award-winning actress Andrea Lowe, who is expertly cast for the lead.
