Alex Parkinson on directing Woody Harrelson in his first feature film, Last Breath
“Initially, it was felt that I had no feature experience,” Alex Parkinson, writer and director of survival thriller Last Breath, told an RTS audience at the Bristol Everyman. Then he added: “This is true."
Parkinson was not the first pick to direct the feature, despite having directed the 2019 Netflix feature documentary on which the film is based. “They took it to a different director... a very well-known director, who I will not name,” he said. That Hollywood director then stepped away from the project, giving Parkinson the chance to pitch.
