The UK premiere of Solitary took place in Soho last night. It wasn’t easy for me to get there from Paris, what with Eurostar’s prohibitive weekend prices, but it was worth 8 hours on a bus to be part of a really special event. Director Sasha Krane described the production as a labor of love, and the expression was (for once) accurately applied. The commitment and … Continue reading Solitary: The UK Premiere

My autumn highlight for 2013 was creating a room of lost items for Gabriel Foster Prior‘s A Short Film About Hats We had a mountain of pens, a drawer full of coins – multi-currency of course, as it’s me – a haphazard wrack full of begged, borrowed and found clothes including almost everything I own, odd socks, old keys, puzzle pieces, cell phones, toy soldiers… No sleep … Continue reading What have you lost?
Congratulations to the cast & crew of Solitary, a feature film by Katharine McEwan that wrapped yesterday in Portsmouth! It was a fascinating, fun & exhausting 3 weeks away. We shot in a real prison (not functioning), which has put me right off crime. You do not want to go to prison! Everything’s hard, cold and cream. Also very creepy. I almost gave myself a … Continue reading Solitary
