7 Hours on Earth | Ft. Ramona Marquez, Gus Flind Henry | Official Selection At Sochi Film Festival

It’s the story of 4 friends at that dodgy moment when friendship kind of moves into love, with all the difficulties that brings. And then another dodgy moment when some disembodied aliens download into the bodies of the Headmaster, the Deputy Head and some naughty year 8s. And all this on the opening night of a disastrous school play! Never mind… the aliens are super-intelligent and can definitely sort all the pain and anxiety out…. can’t they?

What if we told you that the cast was made up from an entire school? Yes, that’s right – a bunch of teachers, students, ex-students and friends at Graveney School got together and decided to shoot and edit a full length feature film. It was filmed over the summer holidays, took 2 years to edit… and has been snapped up by Amazon Video, Google Play and i-Tunes! Inspired by A Midsummer Night’s Dream, who needs a magical forest when you have a magical school?

As the extraterrestrials attempt to make sense of their new surroundings the script has some fun. What is this concept of school, one of them asks. Another replies: “It’s where the young of the species are forcibly contained to receive low-grade data that the elders believe will make them functionally effective."

The film is a seriously impressive achievement by the inspiring teachers and kids at Graveney. Certainly, it’s more professionally made than a fair few low-budget films I’ve seen, though I did wonder whether the English department was consulted about using number “7” in the title, rather than spelling it out as “seven”.

We here at Best Companies were blown away by the quality of this film that was solely created by everyone at Graveney School and they should be super impressed with themselves. 7 Hours on Earth has some serious talent in the film as well, featuring the likes of Ramona Marquez (Katie off of outnumbered) and Gus Flind Henry (a 19 year old up and coming singer/songwriter from South London). In addition, 7 Hours on Earth was the winner at the Screen Power Film Festival, the official selection at the Sochi Film Festival and nominated at the Sunset Film Festival Los Angeles.
