Broken Bird pre-release trailer

"Broken Bird" (Ariel Undine) - trailer for music video.

Ariel and I shot the visuals for this music video last year and I've been working on the animation and final edit  - the full version will be released very soon. To find out more about Ariel Undine or listen to more of her music go to her Facebook page here. You can also find my blog articles about the making of this video here: part 1 and part 2.

London Independent Film Festival Preview

As Niels Bohr once said, prediction is very difficult - especially about the future. Still no hyperdrives, flying cars, hoverboards, dolphin translators or dystopian gladiatorial contests, but according to this article head transplants are on the horizon - props to the makers of Worzel Gummidge for being such unexpected visionaries. Someone had their thinking head on...

However I can confidently predict that cinemaphiles will have plenty to enjoy at this year's London Independent Film Festival, which opens this Thursday. Horror fans should check out the programme on Friday 24th April, which includes the haunted-school feature Unhallowed Ground as well as a selection of horror shorts.

For science fiction fans, there will be a selection of sci-fi shorts on Saturday 25th April. Also try and get to the festival on Saturday 18th April, when the programme will include Emma Maclennan's dystopian short film AIR, winner of Phoenix Film Festival's Best Sci-Fi Short Film award earlier this year.

No-Legged Freaks [Preview: Worm]

Last year’s international pet craze was owls, fuelled by the Harry Potter phenomenon – young fans all over the world have been disappointed to learn that in real life owls do not collect the mail. So what might they turn to next? Here’s the trailer for Worm, an eccentric-looking indie sci-fi film directed by Doug Mallette and currently in post-production.



Worm is due for completion in September 2012 and while I only have the evidence of the trailer to go on, I think this has the potential to be a stand-out movie. While there are many films that play with ideas of reality, perception and dreams, this can of worms is a different kettle of fish. The plot of Inception, for example, didn’t require Leo or Ellen to travel between realities by aural insertion of earthworms. I’m just waiting to see what Untrademarked Productions has in mind for merchandising.

Late Nights And Love Bites [LIFF Preview: A Little Bit Zombie]

Dying was easy. It’s getting married that’s the killer.

Another LIFF highlight for sci-fi fans: A Little Bit Zombie, directed by Casey Walker, will be at the London Independent Film Festival on 18th April. Finally someone has made a romantic comedy with brains.
