The Discovery Of Morniel Mathaway
20min, HD
adapted from the short novel of the same name written in 1956 by Willian Tenn.
Synopsis:
We follow the daily struggle of two artists in east London until the day they receive the visit from an art critic, from the future...
imagine a film somewhere in between Withnail and I and terminator.
Self funded short produced by Grace Allen Bridger and Pablo Melchor,
We have manage to gather a fantastic cast and crew around the script. Simple and effective, sci fi without pretention, also echoing the life of many people in east London this was a great project to do for our first major project together. The indoor scenes where shot in Blait Zaye's studio in the fountayne road warehouse comunity of artists for who the struggle carrys on. As the author of the short novel, William Tenn, highlighted in his first compilation of short form work, it is all about the "human angle". We are using the sci fi element as an opportunity to tickle the audience's mind on some fondamental theory on time, destiny and human nature.
