BAFTA/BIFA Qualified Hilarious Short TWO MINUTES with Jamie Benyon: Interview/Film Breakdown

Bond on Cinema

Writer/director Jamie Benyon and his BAFTA and BIFA-qualified short film TWO MINUTES.

His screenplays have won the IMDb Script To Screen Award, Top 10% on the Coverfly comedy short film list, been shortlisted for BBC Comedy Writers Programme, and a semi-finalist in the Shore Short Script Competition, a quarter-finalist in the Screencraft Fellowship and Top 40 at the UK Film Festival.

Jamie Benyon’s short titled TWO MINUTES, is an endearing short film comedy and I love it. Starring Ted Lasso’s Annette Badland, and Samuel Bottomley from How to Have Sex and Sundown as well as Ashley Margolis from Brassic and Silent Witness.

TWO MINUTES won First Prize for Best Comedy Short Film at Flickers Rhode Island International Film Festival, and Best British Comedy at Discover Film Festival. It's also an official selection at this years BFI London Film Festival, as well as premiering in Canada at the Oscar qualifying Edmonton International Film Festival along with many BIFA qualifying films across the UK.

Ladies and gentlemen, Jamie Benyon’s anxiety-filled endearing short film TWO MINUTES left me wanting more and more. Following the death of their Grandfather, two brothers decide to rob a convenience store in which they have two minutes to grab what they can before the police arrives. But their Nan unexpectedly walks by creating more tension during their attempted heist.

Everyone who has the opportunity to see this film will fall in love with TWO MINUTES. All I want to see is more of these three characters as I think there is either a streaming series or a feature film within this film. Could Nan become a ringleader in a family-based crime syndication of bubbling wannabe robbers? Only Jamie Benyon knows the answer to that.
