SYNOPSIS
Set in 1860 - Where friends Branwen(16) and Caradoc(18) have lived with the unnamed curse upon their village for many years. Her late mother's second sight, and her relationship with Margo; a crow, enables Branwen to see things differently than most. So when Branwen's daily routine as a service maid is interrupted with intriguing news, a series of events are set in motion that take Caradoc and Branwen to expose the curse and rid it from their world for good.
LONECROW trailer
CROWBONES production was filmed over six days in East Auckland area.
Locations were Highwic house in Newmarket, Howick Historic Village and Cascades reserve in Lloyd Elsmore Park, Pakuranga.
Funding from Howick local board assisted in the location fees at the Historic Village. Pakuranga College drama students held acting roles as extras and featured characters.
My inspiration for this project grew from an interest in old welsh legends and the Celtic influence of my Welsh heritage.
A lot of research went into the wardrobe of the 1860's for the village folk, miners and main characters.
Grade and style is influenced by the 2012 film 'Mackerel'.
