Following the huge success of award-winning director, Richard Bazley's two latest films - Censure and Confines on the Film Festival Circuit - film buffs will be thrilled to know there will be a double-bill screening at The Pound Arts in Corsham plus a Q&A with the director and selected cast and crew next month.
Emmy-nominated director Mr Bazley is a former Disney animator, and previously worked on films including Pocahontas and as lead animator on Hercules, before working on the Harry Potter films. Richard made his two latest movies at various Wiltshire locations and in Somerset's Cheddar Gorge.
Richard Bazley said: “Our films have been screened all over the world from Espace Miramar Theatre in Cannes to the Producer’s Club in New York and The Fine Arts Theatre in Beverly Hills but I am delighted to now bring our films home where they were filmed and to show locally. Censure and Confines have won over 60 awards to date”.
Both the live action films were made on a budget over the last two years using a number of locations. He told the BBC: "I'd seen Blind House numerous times.. it's a small building next to the pub in Box where they used to lock up drunks and criminals,"
"I had a look in there and thought it would be a really interesting spot for a monologue."
The location was used for the beginning of Confines, a film that grows around the idea of the lead character who is 'a prisoner of his own mind and can't escape'.
His other recent film Censure is about an introvert named Aaron who finds himself 'struggling to find a place he feels able to breathe'.
"We didn't have much money so we all decided to chip-in and do what we could and we were amazed at the results," Mr Bazley explained.
The two award-winning short films will be shown at The Pound in Corsham on 12th November especially for the Magic and Mayhem Festival.
