Death & Mrs Brady
by Alex Nichol
This was my graduation film, shot on 16mm film and earned me my first class. I wrote and directed it, with Ellie Land producing, Emma Dalesman as DoP and Mike Pentney editing.
I knew that once I had graduated, it wouldn’t be quite so easy to experiment, so I wrote a script that contained all of the cool stuff I’d seen in making-of documentaries – stunt work, fight sequences, make-up, visual effects, costume design and set-building.
It was fantastic fun, and a real baptism by fire for an inexperienced director!
