Pepe Martinez, Martin Nuza, Sabrina Perez Lungen, Passerby, Rebecca Figueras, Adnan Laoudy
It was 4 long days, but we have finished off the prinicple photography for the Inquisition.
(btw - I wrote a blog entry 2 days ago and it seems to have disappeared!).
I think we got some good footage but it is now down to my skills as an editor to pull this thing together.
A word about the cast.
Our two main actors are actually actors! That is a big change.
Sabrina Perez Lungen played Beth. Maybe it is a case of the director fawning over the lead actress but, she was amazing. She brought something to every scene - she thought about her character and how she would be. Zooming in to get the focus on her I couldn't help but be taken by her face - she has a great power and it really comes across.
Pepe Martinez played the priest and also was a real pleasure to work with. Pepe gives great face (as we say) - having him staring into the camera was enough for most takes! I think Pepe has a great spark on camera - with training I think he could be a good film actor.
The rest of the cast were (as they would be the first to say) amateurs, but they did a great job none the less.
Adnan Laoudy was 'The Boy'. Rebecca Figueras was 'Amaranta' - our other witch. And Nicola Howes played 'Amanda' - the little sister. Nicola too approached her character with insight and intelligence.
Martin Nuza - who wrote this thing - also produced. He did a good job of finding us locations and extras.
And now we are done. I have a mountain (ok, 3) of tapes to go through and try and hone out a film.
Wish me luck!
