The low-budget film Boiling Point is a 92 minute single take feature set in a London restaurant. It follows the ups and downs of service on one of the busiest days of the year.
Yes, I said, 92 minutes, single take, filmed with all the difficulties of shooting safely during the height of the pandemic (you remember the same time a certain Hollywood A lister was throwing hissy fits and firing crew).
And it works brilliantly. It's great acting with well choreographed action. The single take technique really pulls you in, you feel like you are wondering around this space waiting for the sh!t to hit the fan.
Shot by a young DoP, Matthew Lewis, on Sony Venice with a 32mm Zeiss Ultra Prime and an easy rig. Bravo.
If you get the chance to see it, give it a go. it's on Amazon Prime in the UK.
Here's a good read on its making:
