Wrists: a visit to The Twilight Zone (in a good way)

Last week's screening

John Bradburn's impressive low budget (£2000) feature film Wrists was a feast for your eyes. John introduced it as 'Wrists is a crossover between fine art and film'. Watching this film was for me like visiting The Twilight Zone, but in a good way. The rural setting was extremely photogenic whilst at the same time creating a slight uncanny athmosphere. The minimal use of dialogue only strengthened the storyline. A story which at first glance might look straightforward; girls gets obsessed with boy but it was masterfully worked out. Isn't there a bit of psychopath in all of us?

Here is a quote from John's blog

Screening Feedback
Two excellent screenings so far. A good response at both of the screenings which lead to some interesting debates on the themes of Wrists. I know the film is a little 'difficult' but it does seem to pay off. My nerves are worth it.

Remember the local band Jackdaw with Crowbar? It combines visual music with thrash film. Jackdaw will be performing again coming Monday. Together with the Dutch band The Ex they will present an extraordinary evening of live music in Leamington's Cultural Quarter.
