It's a science-fiction, action-adventure movie, in which a young woman uses future game tech to pilot a drone on the other side of the galaxy.
She needs to save her stranded dad from AI drones trying to kill him, so he can bring home the secret to unlimited clean energy to her climate-change-ravaged earth.
“SAVE POINT embraces gaming culture and technology for a sci-fi feature film project that crosses galaxies and generations. Playing with themes of generation divide and online identity, writer-director Ben Mole’s emotionally satisfying daughter-father ‘reverse rescue’ is built on a richly conceived future world which speaks to very contemporary touch-points. A paired down cast of two and using limited locations, the project is explicitly designed to utilise the creative visual possibilities of virtual production which have already been successfully tested in proof of concept shoots at Garden Studios’ virtual stage in London. With strong consumer concept testing amongst both older males and younger females, SAVE POINT’s accessible
sci-fi adventure has the clear potential to delight mainstream entertainment audiences across the board.”

Code Of Silence
My latest feature film, Code Of Silence released in early 2022, reached number 3 in the UK DTV charts.
"Several directorial flourishes from Ben Mole that lift it above the average." Simon Hooper -- Any Good Film
It's a 1960s crime drama about Leonard "Nipper" Read, the cop who helped solve the Great Train Robbery, and took down the Krays.
"The conversational standoffs between Read and the Krays are as brutal as any shootout" -- Noel Murray, LA Times
"Nipper, nicely played by Stephen Moyer, along with great directing, create a visually stimulating film that captures that 60’s London vibe beautifully."
It stars the excellent Stephen Moyer and features the wonderful talents of Alec Newman, Ronan Summers as both Kray twins, Ian Sharp, and Ella Peel, and a fun cameo from Andrew Tiernan. If nothing else, its an acting masterclass.
"New films based on the lives of the notorious Kray twins have been coming thick and fast in recent years, but this one is markedly different. ‘Code of Silence’ tells the story of their downfall from the point of view of the forces of law and order. Directed with imaginative flair by Ben Mole, it’s a speed ride with plenty of shocks and jolts along the way." - Scenester
Written by Luke Bailey, directed by me, produced by Lucinda Thakrar for Picture Perfect and 101 International.
"There are moments of style that Mole uses wisely… Every time a character starts to recount a story or the police officers offer a theory, the film pulls a stylish maneuver of having Moyer’s Nipper appear in the “memory” and either speak with the characters or deliver questions in the form of a commentary. At one point, he even steps up to a clock and pushes it ahead in time while the characters behind him move in fast forward."
