THE LAST CONFESSION

Franz – an old, dying man, and former Nazi, calls a priest to his bedside for his last confession. But Father Kramer finds him chillingly unafraid and unrepentant. The story Franz tells, and what happens next, will go beyond the darkest imaginings of his confessor.

Writer/Producer Kev Hopgood is a Kino regular, having screened his previous shorts (STORY TIME & COLD CALLER) at our Short Film Open Mic. Kev brought his new WWII horror project to a Kino Writers group last summer and within a matter of days director Dustin Curtis Murphy came on board joining Kev and co-producer Marius Smuts. With the help of Greenlit the film was successfully crowdfunded and we had two days of production in the fall/winter of 2019. We’re currently putting the finishing touches (score and sound design) on The Last Confession with intentions to release it this summer.
