ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This book includes the original This Dark Place screenplay with screen captures and an introduction that will give unique insight into the short film.

To learn about the short film Sing Me to Sleep that accompanied This Dark Place on its initial online premiere, look out for Sing Me to Sleep – The Illustrated Screenplay.

Also included in this book is a second introduction; this time to the unproduced short film Brilliant that would have come from the same team behind This Dark Place, as well as the script draft for that project.

I am grateful to the team for everything that they brought to This Dark Place, but I would like to highlight the following…

Greg Tallent and London South Bank University for again providing an audition location (for the third time after the casting for the unproduced short film Fly with Me and the third shot and second released Lee Neville Entertainment short film Time Stops Moving)

Diana Qashqai for being a casting assistant that simply made my life easier when it came to casting

Sarah Hannah who brought so much to the character of Gemma- the This Dark Place introduction in this book will attempt to put words to Sarah’s greatness, but for here, right now, I don’t have the words for how amazing her acting and she was

Chukwudi Onwere, Kailee Susan Gilchrist, Yuliya Fytsaylo and Julia Stone for being such supportive actors in their supporting roles

Elizabeth Rodriguez for taking some of the pressure off me when it came to producing

Alexander McNeill for having such creative director of photography ideas when it came to the dark look and power elements of the film

Composer Janine Forrester for lifting the quality of the film with her grand world building score

I am also grateful again to This Dark Place producer Elizabeth Rodriguez for her efforts with what became the unproduced short film Brilliant; alongside contributors Alexander McNeill, Dalia Grigonyte, Bianca Stoian, Reno Steempkamp and Alex Moore; and of course Brilliant herself…

…Jessica Lefey – she wasn’t just beautiful, she was Brilliant
