‘Roake’ is a short satirical film, the dark tale of a mysterious photographer.
This is the one man in the world who can accelerate those seeking fame to the top of the A list, in a dazzling moment.
A photographer of such renown, that just one photo by him guarantees maximum exposure and stardom.
Only he decides who is to be the recipient of his extraordinary dark art.
The wannabes of the social set will give anything for one photograph, the one he chooses will end up giving more than they could possibly imagine.
Roake is a joint British and Spanish collaboration, bringing together the talents of Joan Cobos’s direction, and Joel and John Jessup’s writing.
The cast is headlined by distinguished British actor Ronan Vibert, and features some of the UK’s emerging young acting talent.
The crew includes some of the best Spanish and British technicians, including Juan Gonzales DOP. Les Tomkins is supervising the art direction, famous for his work with Stanley Kubrick.
Since its release it has been shown at over 50 film festivals worldwide and has won 17 awards, including Best Picture, Best Cinematography and Best Soundtrack.
