Scratch

It's been a long wait, but 'Scratch', a film I worked on last year is due to be released. I'm looking forward to seeing it as a lot of thought went into the design, the script was very good and the performances strong. I hope it does well. It's unfortunate that there doesn't seem to be a lot of outlets for 'art house' short films of this nature.

I've found that I collaborate best with European and international directors as they tend to have a strong visual aesthetic. Most English directors have a tendancy to concentrate on the text and prefer gritty realism. Nothing wrong with that, except it doesn't suit my style of work. I like to make the design and characters believeable and truthful within a heightened sense of reality and create another world.
