I had a total blast working on short film ‘Care’ as part of the ‘Uncertain Kingdom’ scheme: it’s not always that the love of a project is able to transfer from the cast and the above the line talent on to the crew but I judge that it happened in spades on this shoot… Three days filming in an (empty) prison shouldn’t necessarily be a lot of fun, but because of the passion and skills on display throughout the cast and crew: it was a terrific experience. I look forward to seeing the final film!
