Wish 143 - A short film by Tom Bidwell



It's not very often you get to see behind the scenes of a film, but I had this opportunity to shoot some stills for the production company. The above shot is for the poster, the DVD cover and for
the film promotion.

The film crew and I were on top of a hill in the freezing wind. During film takes and still shots, you could watch the rain coming up the valley. When the rain hit everything was covered up in plastic, people too. Who says the life of a photographer is glamorous!

Wish 143 is a film written by Tom Bidwell, it's a slightly autobiographical account of his life when he was younger. Jim Carter plays the priest who befriends Tom and the story takes on some interesting twists and turns.

The film launches at The Encounters Film Festival in Bristol this Autumn.
