FILMMAKING
The Devil's Footprints, The Met Film School
This film examines the strange phenomenon which happened in February 1855 when a 100 mile trail of footprints strangely appeared in the snow overnight across East Devon. The footprints travelled through fields, gardens, rooftops and over high walls. In this film, I interviewed a leading fortean historian, a playwright and a renowned cryptozoologist about the mystery. The film has also been screened at The Altered Images Post Production Awards 2010 for which it won an award for Best Editing 2010. It was also an official selection for screenings at the London International Documentary Festival, Bestival, Latitude, The Loch Ness Film Festival and the Weird Weekend Festival.
