The Last Hours Of Laura K

Synopsis

Who killed Laura Kitchens?
Today was meant to be all about building bridges with her sister, but after a late night flirtation and an early morning work call, Laura Kitchens' life is about to change in ways she could never imagine. As the ticking clock counts down the hours till her death can she solve the mystery of who is stalking her, help her sister not repeat the same mistakes she made and assist her boss in saving the mysterious SaturnEye deal that hangs in the balance?
Shot in real time using found footage of Laura’s final day, this is an immersive murder mystery that merges social media and film. Viewers are able to access Laura and the other characters via Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram, LinkedIn. A ground-breaking film. A drama and immersive digital experience all in one. Placing the audience at the heart of the story.
Using 24 hours of footage from the fictional surveillance programme SATURNEYE, the film is a disconcertingly intimate, unfiltered and impartial look into Laura's last hours before her death.
