Probably pick of this little coven is Catherine Taylor’s Temptation, a female-skewing, London-set story of a ladette (Caroline Haines) saved from a rapist minicab driver by a glam, moody vampire (Rachel Waters). It has more lipgloss lesbian fang-flashers, but offers a reasonable blend of chills and charm”. (Kim Newman, Empire Magazine, January 2011)
Alice in the Clouds will be playing at the Horse Hospital as part of the London Underground Film Festival on December 6th.

Cinderella’s Revenge is a chandelier currently exhibited in Liberty of London, created by The Emerald Faerie in collaboration with Terry De Havilland;
“Designer behind the Emerald Faerie bespoke lighting collections, Gall was inspired by the haute couture shoes creations by Terry De Havilland. Gall’s latest work of sculptural lighting and fiber optic illumination is an interpretation of De Havilland’s oeuvre, echoing the glamour of his materials, the shape of the 7-inch heels and the tools used in the process.”
Over the last few months I have been in production on three short films inspired by Cinderella’s Revenge.
