Gardener's dreamworld
And so I act now apparently, or more accurately; 'fail to read words written down in front of me with any sort of skill'. Still, when very good and wisened friend, nay director Geoff asked me politely if I'd like to partake in his short film endeavour I had two thoughts - the latter; "Of course! Would be an honour and a pleasure!" and the other; "Exactly how many people said no to this already??"
Tiring though it was running about being chased by shrubbery around London town (ten points if you spot the Shining homage) and at points a) shutting down the VIctoria tube line, and b) exposing an underground drug syndicate, it was certainly a lot of fun for the two days.
Filmed in just a weekend, produced for the 2 Days Later horror film challenge, and screened at the festival in Margate over the Halloween weekend 2011, 'Botanophabia' (a real phobia - who kenw?) is a tour de force of tounge meeting inner cheek, as it were, and how to populate Youtube with a less than zero budget.
Please feel free to laugh both with and at it - Geoff's blood, sweat, and ..fertiliser went into making it with myself and B, Sophie, Quita, Carl, Simon and Andrea, and it really was an honour and pleasure to be involved/smacked in the face with a tree branch.
Enjoy!
