Light Rain - A film from the Golden Lane estate

A friend of mine posted this short, Light Rain, on Facebook the other day.

It was filmed at Golden Lane in the City of London, an estate designed by Chamberlin, Powell and Bon. Work on all buildings completed in 1962, they are now grade II listed.

The director Neil Horner had this to say about choosing a location: "I chose Great Arthur house for two reasons. Firstly it is a stunning building with fantastic colour and architecture which would translate very well on film. 

"Secondly, there were sadly a lot of suicides that took place at this building...people would commit suicide by jumping off the structure at the top of the building which was aptly dubbed 'the ski jump'. As the film was dealing with bereavement, the location had a very a significant meaning."
