Off The Rails documentary film

From Standing Room Only, 12:45 pm on 5 June 2022

The film industry has been drastically upset by Covid over the past two years. The big blockbusters get the big publicity, unsurprisingly. The studios have a lot at stake, but they also have other income streams.

Small films are often worse hit, with production shut down for months, no income and crews scattered around the world.

Take a documentary called Off the Rails, which features young men taking ridiculous risks - jumping off buildings, climbing up narrow bridges, riding on top of fast-moving trains. It's about to screen as part of the Doc Edge festival.

As its Director Peter Day explained to Simon Morris it was filmed mostly around London, while post-production took place in Glasgow and Amsterdam. Meanwhile Peter Day was in Auckland, New Zealand, with his family.
