About The Project
Back in 2005 me and my partner Amy decided to write a screenplay. Inspired by film-makers like Jim Henson, Tim Burton and Guillermo del Toro.
However, it wasn’t quite as easy as you might think. We had loads of ideas but we needed a method to control the madness. So having come from a theatre & drama background Amy suggested a kind of “stream of consciousness” to get the ball rolling. So we got out the pens and paper and wrote whatever came to mind without any breaks. Then from that we crossed out words we didn’t like and merged our findings into phrases and paragraphs.
Almost instantly we found that we had a story, albeit a fairly abstract one. So we developed the idea and finally came up with the idea of this young woman trapped in some sort of limbo. I got on and wrote a rough script and we got into the realms of pre-production when life took over and the script got buried amongst the bills and sheet music.
An eventful 4 years passed and the script reared its ugly head again. After a few modifications it’s all back on again. We are making the film! This website is here to tell the story – from script to screen.
We are in pre-production at the moment – sourcing props, costumes; finding locations and actors; making puppets and prosthetics. It is my intention to keep a record of the entire production process to act not only as a record but as a press resource and any other kind of resource and inspiration to other film-makers who just want to make films that they want to make.
There’s no funding or anything like that, just a bunch of people who want to make films. So it’ll be a case of beg, borrow and steal until we get what we need!
