Synopsis

Since Michael and Emily's mum left the farm, it is as if time has stopped. But when an outsider walks onto the farm, with a security tag on his jeans and enough charm to bring the birds down from the trees, their lives are split wide open.

12 Miles from Nowhere is a modern myth, a domestic rural story told with immense theatricality and beauty. It is a tense thriller set amongst green fields.

Collectively written by Doug Crossley, Sarah Calver, Freddie Machin, and Ben Worth. Directed by Kevin Dyer.
