About this show
Not the headlines you'll be expecting. An insightful social drama, a naive cleaner unwittingly films malpractice on a hospital ward. Years later the recording revelations are revealed. Inspired by the evolution of consumer digital camera technology from the late 1980s to the late 2000s, the 26th independent feature film from director Al Carretta is also the opening presentation of the 13th Nightpiece Film Festival. Cheaper to deliver as a total spend feature than a live Fringe stage play, Carretta's unique hybrid production ethos has seen him premiere new works in Edinburgh since his 2001 debut.
