Meet the Director!

There's an old adage that the best position for the writer is to be sleeping with the director. I've taken it to heart. Our new and fabulous director is none other than Rosemary Riddell. We've put together the old team which was so successful with the international play Jerusalem, Jerusalem and took out the Sandcastle Award for Best Short Film at the Moondance Festival in Hollywood, for our short film Cake Tin.

Rosemary is very much an actors' director, with a keen eye for drama and what works on screen. And she brings to this project an intimate knowledge of the story, gleaned from more than ten years of living with its various incarnations. So she was ideally qualified to step into the breach when Gillies Mackinnon needed to pull out.

We're giving her highly experienced people around her to supplement her skills for her first feature, including the veteran Director of Photography Tom Burstyn.

Rosemary is a formidable director, much loved by all those she has worked with over the years. As an actor herself, she understands the importance of quality performances. And in her other life, she's a judge - so it doesn't pay to mess with her!
