  • Note
    Artist Richey Beckett and musician Johanna Warren made TWISTED against the odds, as Covid tightened it's grip and travel became impossible for the original crew, they recruited local BAFTA award winners Ryan Eddleston (Cinematographer) and Mark Holownia (Lighting Director) to help them bring their vision to life over a two day shoot with minimal crew (only camera assistant Tom Clapson in addition to the four). Richey and Johanna wrote, designed, set dressed, directed, performed, edited the film, and created all VFX and foley work.
