Java Post Production is very pleased to learn that the short drama "Something Pointless" will make its World Premiere as a finalist and official selection of the 56th USA Film Festival in Dallas, Texas, on April 23rd.

Java Post Production colourist, Jack Tunnicliffe, did the colour grading on the short film and Java Post Production also handled the final mastering for the project.

Following its world premiere in Dallas, "Something Pointless" will travel to the 79th annual Yorkton Film Festival in Saskatchewan, where it has already received its first award nomination for Best Short Film.

Written by International Emmy-nominee David Cormican and Neil Graham, and directed by Asa Bailey, "Something Pointless" follows an inter-generational bond that forms between a lonely, bullied boy and an elderly man whose quiet, pointless daily ritual becomes an unlikely act of defiance against insignificance.

The film stars Leo Harris (The Count of Monte Cristo, Lost Boys & Fairies) as The Boy Who Never Smiles, alongside BAFTA-winner Owen Teale (Game of Thrones, Dream Horse, The Rig), six-time Olivier Award-nominee and winner Sophie Thompson (Gosford Park, EastEnders, Coronation Street), and SAG Award-nominee Sule Rimi (The Day of the Jackal, Andor).

Something Pointless is produced by David Cormican of Fun Republic Pictures and Asa Bailey of BAI-LEY, with executive producers Shawn Christensen and Damon Russell (both Academy Award-winners), Brenden Hubbard (Webby Award-winner), Anand Ramayya (Gemini Award-winner), Dwayne Hill (Emmy-nominee), and Zane Lackey. The film features cinematography by BAFTA-winner Keefa Chan, editing by Laurence Cohen, casting by multi-CDG award-nominee Victor Jenkins CDG CSA, and an original score by Andrea Bellucci (Skydance's Behemoth, League of Legends).

Something Pointless was shot on location in Newport, Wales in May 2025.
