4 drafts in, and FAIRY DUST is getting to a place where it feels like a real film (iykyk). Cannot wait to show this one to the world when it crosses the inevitable finish line.

Dunno if this shot will survive to the final edit, but I really love how this FAIRY DUST frame looks.
Currently in the murky waters that is editing, which is both fun and frustrating. Also still raising money to help cover production and post expenses. We're Β£260 away from our Β£7500 stretch goal. Indie filmmaking, as always, needs all the help it can get. Details: tinyurl.com/FairyDustKS
Teaser poster for FAIRY DUST, starring Zoe Villiers, Sam Todd, Josephine McAdam, Joss Carter, and a wild cast of masked characters, now in post-production. Want to get your hands on a copy? We're offering digital and Blu-Ray preorders on our Kickstarter (link in bio) as well as several unique perks.

From our very first shoot day on FAIRY DUST, shooting one of our last shots of the film. Seems so long ago, now.

I first saw @jcvim.bsky.social in 2019's SCARE PACKAGE. Imagine my surprise when she messaged me for FAIRY DUST. Her audition for the role of Aislinn the Fae Princess blew me away. She's has been a big source of help behind the scenes and glorious in front of the camera. All hail the Fae Princess!
FAIRY DUST's Barlow was imagined as an egotistical Arthur Pendragon but became a more central character whose exploration of his identity mirrored that of Saga's. Sam Todd was the perfect embodiment of Barlow. Watching him take Barlow on such an emotional journey was a real joy. Photo by Nick Hardy.
A still shot from the Fairy Dust film set, in a grassy field with grey overcast skies. Josephine is center frame to the left of Zoe Villiers as they play the characters Aislinn and Saga respectively from the film Fairy Dust. Josephine wears a flowing red dress and reaches out their hand towards Zoe, wearing a dark beanie, oversized red coat, and backpack. Photo taken by Nick Hardy.

A beautiful photograph of the Welsh landscape - lush green hills, low stone walls, with dark green and brown forests in the distance, and mountains at the very back with mist rolling over them. Josephine is sat on a stone outcrop in the lower center half of the image in costume as character βAislinnβ from the filming of βFairy Dust.β She wears a white jacket over a bright red tulle dress that matches bright red lips, and looks off to the right of the image. The red and white costume are a stark contrast to the greenery surrounding.

This felt like a dream!
An absolutely stunning country and experience bringing the magic world of Fairy Dust to life with such an incredible team.

The cast and crew have given everything theyβve got to make this film come together and I couldnβt be prouder.
