WASTELAND (UK) Rowan Athale, a 2011 Screen International Star of Tomorrow, is in post with his debut feature, Wasteland. The film, pitched as akin to Ocean’s 11 on a council estate in northern England, is about four friends who plan a heist to better their lives. Athale says: “I think people that
come from these places are usually only seen in social realist films. I wanted to show the characters and their humour and their charisma.” Harry Potter veteran Matthew Lewis
notes that it’s ultimately “a redemption film, about friendship and loyalty. They are good guys, they aren’t thugs.” Wendy Mitchell
