As if running a restaurant already a high-anxiety situation, director Philip Barantini turned up the heat by filming this restaurant drama Boiling Point in a long one-shot sequence.

The film stars Stephen Graham (Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Greyhound), Vinette Robinson (Morgan), Alice Feetham (Save Me), Hannah Walters (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales), Malachi Kirby (Curfew0, Izuka Hoyle (Mary Queen of Scots), Taz Skyler (The Kill Team), Lauryn Ajufo (Holby City), Daniel Larkai (Villain), Lourdes Faberes (Someone You Love), Jason Flemyng (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), and Ray Panthaki (Colette). Philip Barantini (Villain) directed the movie he co-wrote with James Cummings (A Place for Everything).

Here is the official synopsis:

In Boiling Point, on the busiest night of the year at one of the hottest restaurants in London, charismatic, commanding head chef Andy Jones (Stephen Graham) balances along a knife’s edge as multiple personal and professional crises threaten to destroy everything he’s worked for. A surprising visit from a health and safety inspector sets the staff on edge as the overbooked hotspot begins to fill with guests. Jones alternately berates and cajoles his diverse staff, trying his best to diffuse tensions between management and his crew, while catering to the ridiculous demands of customers.
