Nocturne Passage - The Festival Journey Begins

I've never been much of a blogger so I've let a year lapse without comment (!) But what an exciting time it's been...

After a few months further post production, I submitted NOCTURNE PASSAGE to The 25th Galway Film Fleadh in July, and I was absolutely delighted to receive word it was selected to premiere there. I couldn't have asked for a better occasion, and the reception it got was so rewarding.

Here's a couple of cheeky pix from the festival...

'Nocturne Passage' Suite

For months now I have been raving about the amazing score Stefan French Music has composed for NOCTURNE PASSAGE. 

I have thoroughly enjoyed the process of scoring a film, something I had never done before and I'm fully aware I was as lucky as can be to land this young composer for my short. 

He has put together a 4 minute Suite featuring some of the themes from the score.........have a listen, it's a thing of beauty!

NOCTURNE PASSAGE Teaser Trailer

Here's a very short teaser for 'Nocturne Passage' which we released on Halloween 2012 (the teaser that is, the film itself is 98% ready, just a couple more cues to be composed and a touch more sound design).

Anyway I was very excited to get this teaser cut together and hope you horror fans enjoy it, and share it round. F*ck Xmas, tis definitely the season for things which go bump in the night!

Written and directed by Amy-Joyce Hastings, the film stars Susan Loughnane (Love/Hate, Britain's Next Top Model) alongside Ciara Bailey (St. Dracula 3D, Food Guide to Love).
