![When The Chips Are Down - short film - drama
Two unlikely detectives are thrown together to solve a multiple murder case and bring a ring of child pornographers to justice.
Cast: Larry Thomas • Jodi Russell • Alice Tate
WTCAD was an official entry in the Pasadena International Film Festival.
Rosemary Marks produced and I directed and edited WTCAD which was shot over 2 x 6 hour days during the Covid lock-down, outside our house. The only other filming crew member was cinematographer Jamie Trent.
This is actually a teaser pitch for a feature film titled Blood Makes Noise [expansion of my short film Blood Makes Noise]. WTCAD is actually three scenes from the feature script combined into one sequence for the purposes of the short.
