Ghost Writer, a short film

Ghost Writer is a 24-minute one-off drama, written by me and produced by the TAPS organisation in 2009. It's about love, death and letting go.
It was a great experience, from which I learnt a lot about the necessary economies of time and money in TV production. I wrote the script under several technical restrictions. Such as: 1) A maximum of three locations (although that craftily became four on the day) 2) A maximum of six characters. 3) A maximum of 20 scenes. 4) No special effects or anything too technically demanding. 5) The whole thing had to be shot in four hours! Director Guy Slater (Miss Marple) assembled a fine cast in Barrie Ryan English, Fiona Wass, Seamus O'Neill, Lisa Brookes and Giles Ford. |
