Nominated for the First Light Movies Awards 2009! In Pinnacle Man, the sterile apartments of the rich are set high above the grim realities of ground level. The two worlds have become entirely separated until chance intervenes to force Lennon (Paul Newbery), a wealthy property mogul, into an encounter with Kaolin (Jennifer Oates), a ground level girl. Pinnacle Man by Mike Donaghy, Fran Mitchell and Joseph Oliveira is a futuristic drama which explores the unsettling consequences of the division in our society between the rich and the poor. It is a FACT 2008 commission - in October 2007, with funding from First Light Movies, FACT awarded two film commissions to young people to make short films for the Human Futures programme in 2009. The commissions were given to the winners of Young Liverpool Film Night and were chosen by a jury of young film critics. Al and Al, the artists exhibiting for My Mind, acted as mentors on the project, and the young people’s work was showcased as part of the Special Effects Festival in April 2009.
