Calum got back from Dusseldorf and went straight in to making preparations for the launch of 'The Farm' on Vimeo, Facebook and Twitter while also doing a brilliant interview for Shots.
Here's a short excerpt from Shots:
S: The film is very
stylised and visually powerful but doesn't give much away in terms of story;
was that a purposeful approach?
C: Yes, very much so, Tom was keen
not to give too much away and spoil the book. It’s a detective novel as much as
a thriller and from a technical point of view anything too overt could easily
have spoiled it.
It was a game of teasing the
audience unlike with Hollywood trailers where they tell you the whole story up
front. This was perfect for me as I sometimes use a more expressionist style to
communicate a sense of emotion and tension. In this way I was able to be more
sensitive to the emotion in the writing.
