Description

As featured in The Times, The Daily Mail, and other UK national newspapers... A Matter of Minutes tracks Ava, a 17-year-old girl with a severe nut allergy, who, at a house party, kisses a boy who's just eaten some chocolate cake containing nuts. Amongst the selfish partygoers, we track Ava as she fights against the clock to save herself. Writer Phoebe has suffered from a severe nut allergy her whole life. Drawing from her personal experience, she has written 'A Matter of Minutes', a short drama that explores the high stakes and time pressure of anaphylaxis in one of the worst-case scenarios: a house party, through which, the film explores hedonism, in-group acceptance, and the choices that we do or don't get to make. A Matter of Minutes is the latest project from Academy Award Winning production company Slick Films, in association with The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation.
