***Hope of Deliverance* is a web series** written and directed by **Pedro Rilhó**. Shot entirely in London, it tells the story of Francis (**Sam Treharne**), a twenty-something would-be writer who falls for Emmott (**Ryan Spong**), a charming actor, while working on a film set.

When his advances are rejected, he embarks on a series of random one-night stands and even a date with a City type.

But what does Francis really want?

Writer and director Pedro Rilhó is Portuguese and has been based in London for the past 7 years.

His previous short, the successfully crowdfunded *The Writer’s Circle*, screened in competition at the London Independent Film Festival and in a guest slot at Shortcutz Lisboa. Upcoming short, the mother and son melodrama *Tender* starring **Jesse Rutherford** and **Kate Cook**, is awaiting festival submission results.

**Pedro says:** *“This self-funded, personal project purports to question the hormone fuelled desires and frustrated aspirations of recession-hit, middle-class twenty-somethings through Francis, the protagonist and antagonist of his own tale. A contemporary piece in the style of classic cinema where the still, square frame confines the characters to their predicaments, highlighting the theatricality of their interactions while focusing on their emotions.”*
