Production Notes

Roulette

Uploaded by: richyreay

Director: Richard Reay

Writer: Richard Reay

Producer: Mike Baranik, Jamie Wilson

Cast: Peter Lee Wilson, Jamie Wilson, Leslie Simpson, Peter Michael McGowan

Production Notes: This film was made on Location in Newcastle upon Tyne for a budget of $7.5k. Shot entirely on MiniDV and edited using Final Cut Pro it is my first professional film which netted me a job directing another short project with the UK Film Council. The official website for this film is on www.ultrasonikpictures.com/roulette Sadly it has been brought to my attention that there is a problem with sound (on the dial-up version) this is down tthe compression not being able to handle the audio range in the final mixdown. If you can, watch the hi-speed version as the sound is better. Also due to the compression necessary to upload on the site there is a slight flicker every few seconds, this is simply the codec keyframing, try not to let it spoil your enjoyment of the film.

Brief Bio: Born in Newcastle upon Tyne, England in 1977 Richard Reay began writing and directing in 1996 while working as a professional actor in his home town before moving to London to continue his own studies. After attending the renowned Central School of Speech and Drama he toured, as an actor,... [more]
