"Caught in the aftermath of a deadly heist gone wrong, Emma's car is hijacked and she is forced to be a getaway driver, only to discover that the gunman is one of her oldest friends - trapping them both in a tense, uneasy catch-up while they wait to escape."
Starring India Thompson and James Bryan, Last Words is a tense drama written and directed by Liam J. M. Wilson.
A departure from my usual work, this film features almost no visual effects, fastastical elements or action, but is instead a bit more of a slow paced character piece with a focus on the dialogue between these two main contrasting characters. No magic, robots or swords this time, but a psychological, conversational pressure cooker.
Especially coming off the back of my previous short, Mutiny, I specifically didn't want to take on another post-production heavy film. I instead really wanted to stretch my legs in dialogue and purely character based storytelling, before I tackle another big action heavy/VFX/animation project.
The film was shot at the end of November 2025, was finished in mid 2026, and is now awaiting reponses from the festival circuits before an online release in 2027.
