Elements In The Mix: The Crew For "Alice(remix)"

Before I start regaling you with the epic tale of how this film managed to find its way into production, I want to let you know some basic fact about the film and the awesome crew we've managed to assemble.

THE FILM

As detailed in the little info blurb on the right hand side of this blog, "Alice(remix)" is a psycho-drama about relationships. It's also an exploration of the necessity of emotional pain in healthy human consciousness, and how a denial or attempt to psychologically paper over this pain can be seen as a fundamentally dangerous and grotesque act.

"Alice(remix)" stars the very talented Mr. StJohn Cowcher (who has recently performed in such Blue Room plays as "The Bearskinner" and "A Reptile Dreamed") as the central character Nick Baly, a video artist who tries to cope with the chaos caused by the girl he loves abandoning him by turning to his art.

Miss. Gita Bezard (a member of Duckhouse Theatre Group) also stars as Alice Parker, the girl who Nick has lost and who he resurrects via his old recorded footage of their time together.

The film will paradoxically take place in one location and several simultaneously. Through the footage that Nick watches and captures to his hard-drive, we are taken to small moments all throughout the couple's relationship. We jump back and forward in time, across landscapes and memories, finding the core of their temporarily crossed lives etched into these tiny reels of digital tape.

THE CREW

I am incredibly happy with the brilliant crew we've managed to assemble for "Alice(remix)" and I can proudly say without hesitation that it's the best I've ever put together.

We have:
Mr. Nikit Doshi as our producer,
Mr. Jacob Holmes-Brown as our Assistant Director,
Mr. Arthur Bienkowski as our Director of Photography,
Miss. Monique Wajon as our Production Designer,
Miss. Xoe Baird as our Sound Designer,
Mr. Donovan Desouza as our Editor,
Mr. Sam Winzar as our RED Camera Operator

As well as a vast host of other equally talented crew-members who have all signed up to help bring this movie to life. I'm extremely grateful for all of them in having the confidence in both my script and my direction to become a part of this crew and to offer their not inconsiderable talents to this project. I of course owe them all a stake of my eternal soul and a few of my children. A toll I will be only to happy to pay when the time comes...
