Gabe (Iain De Caestecker) is an emergency call handler in Glasgow, until one desperate call from a woman who seems to know him pulls him into a spiral of secrets, guilt and impossible choices. Written by Nick Leather and set and filmed in Glasgow, this tense three-part thriller aired on BBC One in 2022. The camera package came from Progressive.
The camera: ARRI Alexa Mini LF
From the blue glow of an ambulance control room to rain-soaked Glasgow streets at night, The Control Room moves between tight, screen-lit interiors and the city beyond. The Mini LF’s large-format sensor brings depth and richness to both, in a compact body that fits into close quarters.

The lenses: ARRI Signature Primes
A thriller like this lives on faces: panic, doubt, guilt. Signatures render skin beautifully, with a gentle, smooth fall-off that keeps the audience close to the characters, even under the harsh light of computer screens.
