May 2002: Through The Looking Glass Update:
Just received an email from writer/
director Craig Griffith, who updates us on the state of indie
flick Through The Looking Glass,
Principle photography on THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS has
now finished. The film was completed on Wednesday 22nd of
May 2002. The remainder of the shoot went well and the film
has wrapped ahead of schedule without any of the hitches experienced
on our first ten days of shooting at Compton House. Although
still eerie the house has had a calm atmosphere this time
around and apart from the odd disturbance here and there things
have progressed smoothly.
Several
key scenes have already being cut together by the film’s
editor, Claire Pringle at OBE in London. Claire will continue
to cut throughout June and July and a first cut is expected
sometime towards the beginning of August. In the meantime
the producers are now in the process of securing completion
monies and distribution for the film, details of which will
be announced nearer the time.
We
would like to welcome producer Ben Lock to the film. Ben has
recently been to the Cannes film festival promoting the film
along with another script written by Craig entitled STRAIGHT
AS AN ARROW.

Through The Looking Glass is a independent film from writer/
director Craig Griffith. The film revolves around an artist
who becomes obsessed with a painting that is based upon horrific
visions that he receives through a mysterious old mirror.
Here's a
little more information on the plot from the official synopsis,
" An artist lives alone in a foreboding old house in the
country, a place of solitude, free from distractions. For years
this has been the ideal location for his workplace- far from
the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The Artist lives in
his studio, which is little more than a big room with an easel,
a mattress and a sink in it. Until recently he has been happy
here; content and prolific, but now he is at odds with his work
and is unable to paint. This Painter's block as it were, has
lead to a
desperate man obsessed with the need to paint, leaving The Artist

a state of disarray. All of this changes when he finds
a large mysterious package left on his doorstep.......
As events progress strange things begin to manifest. At
first these seem trivial: lights flicker on and off and
inanimate objects appear to be moving by themselves. However
things soon escalate into increasingly disturbing occurrences
such as horrific sounds, doors banging, apparitions seen
in the mirror, strange shadowy figures and people disappearing.
During this time he becomes wracked by horrific and surreal
visions that begin to fuel his work. To The Artist it
appears as if these visions are being bequeathed to him
by the curious venerable mirror- as if the lives and deaths
of its owners, past and future, were somehow being replayed
to him. As he experiences each aberration, The Artist
enters an almost trance-like state, during which he paints
what he sees". More

Filmmaker
Griffith has put the project together himself, from the screenplay
and direction to the actual financing. Through The Looking
Glass has a budget of around £2000 with a production
crew of eight people. It has been shot on DV and is indeed
still shooting in a thousand year old house in England. Although
at present it looks like filming has been postponed judging
by a posting on the official
site, "Filming on the psychological thriller,
'Through the Looking Glass', has been forced to terminate
due to mysterious circumstances. We hope to be able to resume
shooting once again in about 3 weeks".
Craig has told me that the film will finish production
at the end of May. The trailer is available to download from
the official site and things look good. Great production values
(considering the budget) and great cinematography from Chris
Britton. Can't wait to see the finished movie guys.......
