New Old Work: It's Only Magic

Mon, 09 Mar 2020 00:34:00 GMT

It's been a long time coming, but the short film "It's Only Magic", that I wrote and co-produced, is now available to view. There are witches (practitioners!) and assassins in it, as well as a cameo by the Central African Throwing Knife. My sincere thanks to all the cast and crew, including but not limited to Samantha Scowcroft, Josh Aviet, Alex Dover, Peter Butz, Roxanne Stokes-Byrne, Jon Blum, Harriet Blundell, Tony Rahme, Bernice Breckon, Sarah Ann Wiles and Daisaku Takeda. Especial thanks are due to Andrew Shellshear for opening his garage to us at the last moment.

Truly, this project was an exemplar of everything that can go wrong with a short film. The generator didn't arrive at the location the first night. After we set up, someone in one of the units overlooking the park called the police. An early edit was lost due to computer error. The director moved the Canada and stopped answering emails. That this thing exists at all is testament to the bloody-mindness of myself and Jon, who ended up contributing some wonderful music. Was it worth it in the end? Only you can decide!
