Before the advent of the internet, The Killing Zone was made way back in 1998 by people who were not part of the British film industry, but with the desire to achieve the impossible, everyone told us we would fail. With a budget of only 14 thousand pounds, a limited supply of Super 16mm film and a two-week schedule, the members of the Seventh Twelve Collective achieved the impossible. The story of our working-class group have been ignored, but hopefully, through Youtube, our tiny little movie will finally get the attention it deserves.
The Killing Zone:
When you're in The Syndicate, you're in for life. This is the prospect facing Matthew Palmer, a heartless but efficient, deadly but impeccably neat assassin and confirmed Michael Caine fan. But Palmer has found love and wants out, even though he knows that wanting out can make you very quickly dead in London's sinister underworld.
