"When The Party’s Over is an exploration into addiction and party culture. The line between ‘just a bit of’ and ‘too much’ fun can be razor-thin, and I’ve always been completely fascinated by that threshold, when people cross it, and how it can affect them and the people around them. I have always had a tumultuous relationship with alcohol, which in grief, became destructive. The conversations in this film are ones I’ve had with myself, many a time. If it inspires just one person to get the help they need, then the tireless efforts and hard work of all the cast and crew will have been worth it." - Harvey John
