The Judas Kiss is a film without dialogue, telling its story solely through images and haunting music.

What sound does a heart make when it cracks?

Is there any music that can replicate it?

Chris goes to the club with his boyfriend, Jude. It’s just another Saturday night out – a few drinks, some laughs, a workout on the dance floor.
But it’s not just another Saturday night.
It’s a night Chris will never be able to forget.

The Judas Kiss tells its story entirely through images, without the help of dialogue.

The story bounces back and forth in time as Chris’s emotional response to the events of the night unravels. The film is bound together by the sublime music of Handel – the aria, Scherza infida, unforgettably sung by one of the great singers of our time, the American counter-tenor, David Daniels, accompanied by the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.

Why Handel? Hearts broke in the eighteenth century, just as hearts break now.
The sound remains the same.

And introducing...

John, the leading rôle in Midnight, is played by our new discovery, Andrew Hinton Brown. Andrew graduated from drama school on Thursday, auditioned for us on Saturday and got the rôle on Sunday. Before auditioning for us, Andrew’s main claim to fame was that his ex-girlfriend was in Big Brother. This was his first proper audition and, since he had only just left drama school, his agent put him up for one of the smaller rôles in the film. But Andrew gave such a blinding performance that we asked him to come back the next day to audition for the rôle of John. On Sunday, Andrew proved that there was nothing in the rôle that he couldn’t do so we followed our instincts and - despite him being up against a lot of other highly experienced actors - we gave him the rôle. Hisperformance on film has completely surpassed all our expectations. You’ll be seeing a lot more of Andrew. Just remember where you saw him first.

Mark Wakeling plays the Angel in Two Minutes after Midnight.

Mark is currently playing the lead in Athol Fugard’s Playland at the Jermyn Street Theatre. His TV work includes a trio of military rôles - Sword of Honour, Band of Brothers and - in a slightly more mythical vein, the Young Parsifal in Tony Palmer’s film, The Search for the Holy Grail.

John the Hunk in Two Minutes after Midnight is played by Adrian Bouchet.

Originally from Zimbabwe, Adrian was a civil engineer and body-builder (brains and brawn) before turning to acting. Adrian’s extensive theatre work ranges from Shakespeare and An Evening with Gary Lineker to touring the world with the Dreamboys. He is the Gigolo in Nine Dead Gay Guys, the new film by Lab Ky Mo which received a huge amount of press attention as "the scandal of the 2002 Cannes Film Festival". American film executives walked out in droves. Obviously a must-see.

Nigel Shipp plays the rôle of Dick in Two Minutes after Midnight.

Nigel has represented his country at Judo and represented Clearasil and Schwartzkopf as a model. He turned from model to actor under the scrutinyof a TV documentary series.

The rôle of Tom in Two Minutes after Midnight is played by Alex King.
