This short film 'How To Space' is written by St Albans based Anna Reynolds and inspired by the world of her play ‘Nothing on Earth’. Many of the shots are beautifully framed, the proportions between character and space and sharp contrasts between light and shadow drawn with dramatic confidence.
The story is that of a young girl obsessed with the night sky and a yearning to fly out into the unknown. It's a story of breaking through barriers and overcoming societal limitations in order to fulfil astronomical ambitions.
It features actress Chanel Glasgow, whose beautiful voice wraps you in the story and drips with a sense of optimism in the face of frustrated dreams. Filmed under lock-down restrictions in her home of Trinidad and Tobago, tantalising glimpses of the beach and sea form the basis of some of the exterior shots.
Produced using Zoom under the creative leadership of Artistic Director Rosamunde Hutt and directed by Grant Watson, this is a thoughtful and reflective piece filled with poetic imagery and haunting language. A wonderful premiere for the Watford Fringe.
