Following Films Podcast: Alex Parkinson on LAST BREATH

Today, we’re diving into LAST BREATH — the sleeper hit that no one saw coming. Directed by Alex Parkinson, this gripping thriller tells the true story of a commercial diver who becomes trapped 100 meters below the surface of the North Sea with only five minutes of oxygen — and no chance of immediate rescue. It’s a harrowing, edge-of-your-seat survival story that’s as emotional as it is intense. With masterful direction, stunning underwater cinematography, and a narrative that keeps you hooked from start to finish, Last Breath quickly built momentum through word of mouth and has become one of the most talked-about films of the year. I had the chance to sit down with Alex Parkinson to talk about how he brought this incredible true story to life, the technical challenges of filming under extreme conditions, and what it was like turning real-life events into cinematic suspense. LAST BREATH  is currently available on VOD
