I hope you like my short film, Feathers.

This is the first movie I have ever made and when I think back on the journey we took from the first words on a piece of paper until the shoot. I am reminded of how incredible the powers of awareness and acceptance are. From the first draft of a script, which was terrible, the world opened up in the multiple layers like a flower and with every new unfolding leaf a little piece of the story came to me. It wasn't easy by any means but as I expanded by proxy to this exterior thing that drove the narrative of the story forward, strange coincidences started to arise. White feathers would appear everywhere I went. They would turn up right next to me in the gym, or on seats on a bus but the best one I can remember was when visiting the house that we used for Rosie's house. I and the cameraman where coming down the stairs when we spotted a large suitcase behind the stairs. On the suitcase was a label which read "light as a feather" and the picture of a large white feather against light blue.

I knew that I was on the right track with all of these coincidences and chose to see them as a positive sign that I was doing the right thing. We didn't have a lot of money, but with the help of a great team and a little imagination we tried to tell a story that someone might find comfort in.

I hope you enjoy the film. I would love to hear your opinion and would love to answer any questions.
