Fun facts!

The clever editing may have lead you to not notice the fact that the bomb is actually a kitchen timer! Woah now!

This was one of the film's of Screenplay 09 that addressed the festival's sub theme: Making Mhairi Explode.

Roseanne still finds all scenes with Thobin Pigface difficult to watch due to the terrifying nature of the pig mask.

Lorcan was in the bath fully clothed!

This film began when it was joked that Mhairi should make a film (having been in media club for 3 years and yet never having made her own film). And somehow, she pulled it off!

All of the background sets were designed from scratch by Jason and here are some shots of the spaceship's bridge and Spacebot's quarters:

The props budget for the entire Screenplay festival took a big hit when Harry bought the gold material for the excellent shiny costumes.

Fun facts!

Thanks to the Shetland College for letting us destroy the college - we didn't actually ruin anything, which is a record for Maddrim...

This was filmed in an hour and a half.

We tried our darndest to make that pregnancy test positive, even considering asking a pregnant woman to pee on the test for us... we could say we didn't because we know when we're going to far, but we actually couldn't find a pregnant woman to ask.

This was originally a short story written by Roseanne!

The God of Tennis

Take one up and coming sportstar, your favorite neighbourhood deity and add one big lot of tennis, and what have you got??

... this ...

Directed

• Chris Halcrow
• Mhairi McNeill

Starring

• Joe Christie
• Gengus McNeill
• Mhairi McNeill

Music

• Stuart Thompson
• Amanda Palmer (Another Year, from "Who Killed Amanda Palmer")

Fun facts!

This film was conceived and filmed all in one evening (just over an hour, where most of the time was spent trying to find tennis rackets...).

Gengus is a very stupid dog - and when we tried to get him to sit still by giving him a squeaky chew toy, he instead ran away cause he didn't like the squeaking noise.

Mhairi and Chris joked that this would be a best film of the festival (they've convinced themselves it is!). Simon Miller's daughter said it was her favorite which has significantly boosted the ego's of Mhairi and Chris who now refuse to associate themselves with the rest of the group, and insist they are carried around on a throne.
