After all his hard work OH John Cairns (A 66) , founder and CEO of Parkland Pictures https://lnkd.in/gCG8NCZ4 has every reason to be delighted with reviews of his latest film ‘The Trouble with Jessica’ which is now in UK cinemas.

This film, a dark satire, has an all-star cast led by the indomitable character actor Shirley Henderson (Trainspotting, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Bridget Jones, Harry Potter, to name but a few) who plays the lead character Sarah, together with Rufus Sewell (who has a long & varied career on stage, TV and in firm) Alan Tudyk, Indira Varma and Olivia Williams.

The plot thickens – Sarah and Tom are in terrible financial trouble. On the brink of losing everything, they’ve managed to find a buyer for their stylish London home. When their best friends Richard and Beth come round for a final dinner, an uninvited old friend, Jessica, tags along. After a seemingly trivial argument, Jessica hangs herself in the garden. Tom goes to call the police when Sarah realizes if the buyer finds out, the sale will collapse, meaning definite financial ruin. The only solution — to convince Richard and Beth to take Jessica’s body to her flat and make it look like she killed herself there. If they’re clever enough about it, what could possibly go wrong?
