Storyspring's short cinema documentary Last Kings of Soho has just been completed in September 2024 by director David Pearson.

​

Rent increases force Gino's, the iconic Sicilian barber shop in London's Soho to face closure. The news devastates Little Tony, Big Tony, and their clients from the entertainment industries, but they continue to joke, until another surprise compounds their problems.

​

Completed at Films at 59, with a 5.1 sound mix, and graded at Electric Theatre Collective, in London.

More details to follow soon.
