The last film Potter actively worked on was "Midnight Movie" (1994), an adaptation of Rosalind Ashe's novel "Moths". The film starred Louise Germaine and Brian Dennehy (who had appeared respectively in "Lipstick on Your Collar" and "Gorky Park") and was directed by Renny Rye. Unable to secure financing from the Arts Council, Potter invested £500,000 in the production; BBC Films provided the rest of the capital. The film was not given a cinema release owing to a lack of interest from distributors and remained unseen until after Potter's death. It was finally broadcast on BBC2 in December 1994 in the "Screen Two" series, two months after a remake of his lost 1967 play "Message for Posterity" was transmitted.
