THE GREAT GATSBY

The Wardrobe Ensemble
Format: Sony FX9/FS5
THEATRE FILM (2021)

“I’m going to fix everything just the way it was before,” he said, nodding determinedly.

Invited to an extravagant party in a Long Island mansion, young bachelor Nick Carraway is intrigued by the flamboyant host, Jay Gatsby; a self-made, self-invented millionaire with a mysterious past. As the two strike up an unlikely friendship, a cocktail soaked story of memory, money and lost love unfolds.

Directed by Tom Brennan, and produced by Mattew Whittle, The Great Gatsby was performed by Tamsin Hurtado Clarke and Jesse Meadows, and filmed alongside camera operators Matthew Joiner and Michael Sides.

VIGIL

Mechanimal
Format: Sony FX9/FS5
THEATRE FILM (2021)

Bali Tiger.

Dusky Seaside Sparrow, Cinnamon-coloured Cryptic Treehunter, Psychedelic Rock Gecko, Fire Millipede From Hell.  

One human. Twenty-six thousand animals. A wild exploration of life in an age of extinction.

Directed and performed by Tom Bailey, we decided to go further than a normal theatre film and incorporate elements of location filming to make a troubling and heart-breakingly beautiful film. Filmed alongside Zugunruhe, these two films are the theatre films I am most proud of in my career so far.

ZUGUNRUHE

Mechanimal
Format: Sony FX9/FS5
THEATRE FILM (2021)

Zugunruhe (zoo-gun-rue): an ornithology term for ‘migratory restlessness’ in birds. This show explores the incredible flight of a marsh warbler, the world’s only bird whose song echoes its migration route. Body-compasses, magnetic fields, African sunsets, star-chasing, storm-riding, homing… Zugunruhe offers a wild, fresh look at migration. Rehearsing among birds in the wetlands of Somerset, performer Tom Bailey creates a feast of bird behaviour alongside a digital sound map of the marsh warbler’s journey, made by composer Rowan Evans.

A filming sibling to Vigil, these two films were shot on location by myself, and in-situ at Pound Arts alongside camera operators Matthew Joiner and Michael Sides, with lighting design by Jen L. Roxburgh. Huge thanks to Pound Arts for their support and production work on both films.

Connected through a shared past, they are transported to one pivotal moment in 1880 when a dangerous ideology was born: one that would impair the way the world views Deaf people for over a century.

Ad Infinitum combine the company’s signature style of physical storytelling with the beauty of British Sign Language in an unmissable feast for the senses.

Extraordinary Wall o̶f̶ ̶S̶i̶l̶e̶n̶c̶e̶ is a bilingual performance in BSL and English.

The trailer features original music by Sam Halmarack, design by Anna Orton & lighting by Jo Palmer. Thanks to camera assistant Dean Ayotte.
