Last of a Dying Breed

Director · Producer · DP · Editor

Roark Critchlow in a tight black-and-white dock frame from Last of a Dying Breed.

The film

A neo-noir narrative project in post-production, featuring Roark Critchlow (Days of Our Lives, Pretty Little Liars, V) and built around light, shadow, dark humour and mood as the central language of the film.

The approach

James is shaping the film as director, producer, director of photography and editor, using controlled contrast, selective movement and restrained cutting to draw the viewer into the story visually. The neo-noir style lets light reveal character, tension and dry humour, while post-production refines the mood without softening the hard-edged visual grammar.

In post-production after principal photography and pickup days from late 2024 through spring 2025. Public release details will be added when the film is ready.
