THE LAST BOX – A New British Short Film

We are currently developing and raising funds for The Last Box, a moving and gently humorous short film about love, loss, friendship and the difficult process of saying goodbye.

Set against the Derbyshire countryside and the disappearing landscape of Britain's iconic red telephone boxes, The Last Box follows Frank, a widower in his late seventies, who is carrying the ashes of his late wife, Margaret.

When his old friend Dave is sent to inspect some of the area's remaining telephone boxes, Frank sees an opportunity. Determined to find the perfect place to leave Margaret's ashes, he joins Dave on an unusual journey from box to box.

But as the day unfolds, it becomes clear that Frank isn't really struggling to find the right place.

He's struggling to let her go.

Combining dry British humour with an emotional and heartfelt story, The Last Box explores grief through the friendship between two men who approach life — and loss — in very different ways.

Help Us Bring The Last Box to Life

We are currently crowdfunding the production of The Last Box through Kickstarter. As an experienced independent filmmaking team with a proven track record of bringing projects from script to screen, we believe in working with a small, dedicated team to keep costs down and ensure that as much of the budget as possible goes directly into the production.

Your support will help us bring this story to life and take it from development through production and towards audiences and film festivals.
