PUBLICITY, REVIEWS AND REACTIONS
“This short is beautifully shot, gently taking its time to unfold, and the presence of professional actors like stage and screen veteran Anthony Head really raises the bar a notch: on this evidence, Daniel Cormack is a young director to watch.”
Greg Hilditch
Film Critic, Hotdog Movie Magazine, Issue 83, Christmas 2006
“You have certainly justified everyone’s support, and I thought the film was beautiful. Congratulations. You are obviously destined for great things.”
Dame Judi Dench
“I very much enjoyed the film and it’s great that things are going so well.”
Alan Rickman
“It is sensitively conceived; a convincing and rather touching short film.”
Anthony Smith
Fellow of the British Film Institute, Head of the British Film Institute, 1979-1988
“I must congratulate you - it's a classy and accomplished piece of work. The film is elegant, well performed, and is a simple but quite compelling drama.”
Richard Johns
Producer, SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE, Executive Producer, AMELIA AND MICHAEL
“The film looks and sounds beautiful – a very interesting debut. Serendipity and parallel worlds that never quite meet but inform one another, very human misunderstandings and a lovely sense of awkwardness. I'll be very interested to see what you do next.
Mike Tait
Producer, BULLET BOY
“Congratulations! It plays really well. It will be a terrific calling card. Well done.”
David Aukin
Executive Producer, MRS HENDERSON PRESENTS
“A wonderful intensity of miscommunication - tragic humans. Beautifully shot as well.”
Antony J. Bowman
Director, PAPERBACK HERO
[T]his is quality stuff, great performances, a script that doesn't go too far, beautiful photography and a real sense of cinema. It felt very European, like one of those films in which Daniel Auteil and Juliette Binoche fall in love and break up, one of those films that somehow, as a rule, we can't do in this country. With this well cast, well acted, well made film Daniel Cormack seems therefore to be breaking all the rules without breaking sweat or showing off.
