Movie Release: LOLA

— — -Acclaimed Sci-Fi Drama Coming to Theaters & VOD August 4th — —

Set in 1940 England, LOLA is a thrilling sci-fi drama earning near-universal acclaim from critics and audiences alike. Enterprising sisters Thomasina “Thom” Hanbury ( The Witcher, Pistol, Traitors) and Martha “Mars” Hanbury ( Prime Suspect 73, The Last Kingdom) have built a machine, L OLA, that can intercept radio and TV broadcasts from the future. The device gives them an exciting preview of the world to come, including music by the likes of David Bowie and the Kinks. But with World War II escalating, the sisters decide to use the machine as a weapon of intelligence, with world-altering consequences.

In his feature debut, director Andrew Legge employs a documentary-like approach to tell his story, which centers on footage discovered in old movie reel cans in a deserted house — footage that purportedly reveals the work of the eccentric sisters. Much of LOLA was shot with period cameras, the footage then home-processed in a vintage 16mm developing tank in order to give the movie an authentically aged feel.
