The Knife That Killed Me is a 2014 British drama film that was funded as a Kickstarter project. [1] The story about a teenage boy who becomes involved in knife crime was adapted from the novel by Anthony McGowan. [2] It was filmed in York, North Yorkshire in a purpose-built green screen stage at GSP Studios (at the former ARTTS International film school) at Bubwith, [3] entirely on green screens. [2] Production began in mid-February 2012 [3] and filming began in mid-April. [4] The film was released on 24 October 2014.
A casting call for the role of Paul was posted on 26 October 2011 [5] and another for 'Yorkshire-based teenagers' was posted on 9 January 2012; [6] the latter also states that Jeremy Zimmerman was the casting director.
The soundtrack was composed by Tom Adams [8]
The film received mixed reviews. Wendy Ide of The Times described it as "an experimental British drama... with a densely intensive visual verve." [9] Leslie Felperin of The Guardian praised the film's stylized look [1]
The film will also experience its Italian debut in the specialist youth selection of the Rome Film Festival. [10]
