Twisted road movie combines murder and comedy.

Two teenage girls have a night to remember in the road in this short. With nods to classic road movies such as Badlands, Thelma & Louise and Dumb and Dumber, When The Dust Settles is both a supremely silly and dark take on the genre. 

Part of Première, a short film production scheme designed to showcase local, Northern Irish film-making talent. It provided a training opportunity for industry new entrants and more experienced crew alike, offering film-makers a global audience and a stepping stone in their careers.
