The Indiegogo campaign for the Sci-fi action short film TELLURIAN - the most ambitious project yet from Ironstar Films! + 5D Competition

"If you love Sci-fi or Action films. Then this is for you! How about Badass characters with some awesomely cool Scifi weaponry? Not convinced? How about the baddest female lead since Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor. How about a male lead touted as an outsider to be the next Bond? No..what about influenced by both Stranger things and our love of 80's movies. Come on!! That's a clincher!!

Check it out, Only with YOUR help can we save the world!!"

And so goes the confident claim from Arbroath-based film company, IronStar Films about their next film venture, TELLURIAN, and the accompanying Indiegogo campaign to finance it. A confident claim perhaps, but a bold unsubstantiated claim? Well not if the company's past work is anything to go by it isn't. We here at 5D have been fortunate enough to have seen some of the previous good works from the group. For example BLOOD LOSS a tale of retribution and redemption among a group of friends who find themselves in too deep was a deliciously atmospheric slice of horroresque film making. You can read the article RIGHT HERE.

If that wasn't enough not long after that a very short, but very beautiful fantasy film came the way of 5D headquarters. The Clearing runs for 5.5 minutes and is a visual narrative which explores the very essence of life and death. Without giving to much away here is a brief synopsis. After waking up in a strange and otherworldly place called "The Clearing," Chris soon realises he is not alone and must unravel the mysteries that have lead him to this point before its too late.

In truth, The Clearing provided a totally unexpected richly visceral experience, both on a visual and auditory level. For a start it looks wonderful with a rich tone of colour, texture and lighting which all serve to very nicely enhance the atmospheric narrative. The quality is such that visually the film completely belies the fact that it cost so little to make, it simply doesn't look cheap at all. In fact, so impressive is the visual element that I've now watched the film a couple of times without the sound and the overall effect is still striking. You can read the full review RIGHT HERE.

In other words, I have every reason to believe that TELLURIAN will be the next in the successful production line of short movies from Ironstar Films.

TELLURIAN is a tale of the enduring human spirit in the wake of an Alien invasion where all the children on earth disappear. While the War for the planet rages on a small group of militia find themselves trying to protect not only themselves and their way of life but also possibly the last child on earth.

The theme of the film is inspired by the team's love of 80's action Sci-fi movies along with the aesthetic of recent shows such as Netflix Stranger things.

The actors include Craig McGinlay, who featured in the wonderful Blood loss, Chris O'Mara (The Clearing), Kerry Browne, Stephen Humpage, Tom Ingram, Wayne Russell, Alan Cuthbert. Holly Woodhouse will come on board as the personification of the invading force with Nikki Curley and Brodie Toriati as the first member of the invading force.

David Byrne and Ellie Reid with both lend their incredible talents to the roles of their young heroes, While Director and Actor David Izzat will join as Breakers father.

They also welcome into his first film role Brandon Boyd taking on the role of Seth. The last boy on the planet!

This exciting short Sci-fi film is coming from Scottish filmmakers - IronStar films for which the Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign has just started at https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/tellurian-short-film-movie#/ and included is a range of tasty incentives for backers.

A review of Rogue Warrior: Robot Fighter (2016)

A winner of numerous critical accolades and festival awards, not just for the film itself but also for the quite remarkable performance of its leading lady........ mention upon mention of the film in the various 5D social network timelines over the past couple of months....... the news that none other than SONY has picked up the movie and a franchise is planned together with moves for a proposed TV series.........

Yes, in the time-honoured fashion of hanging onto the coat tails of those far more talented about myself it became abundantly clear to me that something had to be done about this situation - I had get involved. In other words, it was about time that I watched Rogue Warrior: Robot Fighter for myself to see just exactly what all the fuss was about.

The previous blog article here at 5D featured an in depth (OK, in other words I waffled on a lot) interview with the producer and leading lady herself, Tracey Birdsall. If you want to see for yourself a fascinating insight into Tracey's mind-set then you could do worse than read it RIGHT HERE.

If you feel that actually you could do much better than read anything that I put together (and just who would blame you?) then I will simply say that Tracey is a wonderfully entertaining, gracious and refreshingly honest interviewee. The rumour that we here at 5D are more than a little smitten with the gorgeous, talented geek that she is would be something I couldn't possibly comment upon........ :-)

However, my abject and fawning method of "tell me why you're so fab" line of questioning didn't seem to put her off too much and she was in fact very complimentary on my article. I know what my regular reader (yes I do have one) is thinking, that Tracey was probably just as shocked as anyone that I had managed to get at least some of my spelling, grammar and basic factual information nearly correct. Well, if that suggestion wasn't probably harsh but true I would be contacting my legal team to counter that remark with threats of legal action, though they would probably tell me that I was once again onto a losing case...

Nonetheless, Tracey did indeed like the article, so much so that she suggested that I may wish to see the finished product of Rogue Warrior: Robot Fighter for myself on a super secret online screener....... and so watch it I did.

ROGUE WARRIOR: ROBOT FIGHTER is a complex science-fiction actioner described as Mad Max meets Star Wars. Written by Neil Johnson, the science fiction film is set in the distant future depicting the overthrow of humanity by artificial intelligence on Earth and other worlds. Starring are Tracey Birdsall, William Kircher (The Hobbit), Daz Crawford (“Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”), Stephen Manley (Star Trek III), and Marilyn Ghiggliotti (Clerks).

I will admit that I was more than a little apprehensive before watching this film - What if I didn't like it? How much of a negative review might I have to write? Would Tracey Birdsall never talk to me again?......

Thankfully I never needed to answer any of those questions because Rogue Warrior: Robot Fighter is quite simply a triumph, it is in fact a genuinely scintillating slice of Sci-fI cinema.

On the face of it there is apparently little new to the narrative themes within the film, it's clear that the makers wear their inspirations firmly on their sleeve as influences abound with the likes of Terminator and Mad Max.

However this is not a criticism, because while the concept of the rise of machines and technology threatening the very existence of humans may seem familiar, the treatment here means that there is a freshness and sincerity to the production that otherwise may have just been another by-the-numbers tale of technological armageddon.

For a start, the film looks great, making the full use of some stunning locations both in the States and down-under in Australia. Some of the panoramic aerial shots in particular are incredible and fully utilise the use of drones (a genuine boon for any low-budget filmmaker) to provide a richly textured and fluid look to the movie. If you add to that some inspired lighting and taut direction, the result is that unlike other films of a similar nature in terms of limited finance. It all serves to provide the viewer with a genuine sense of planetary and interplanetary scale. The irony that a film that deals with the notion of technology becoming dominant beyond belief in fact benefits from the increasingly complexity of technology, such as drones, is rather amusing methinks. This movie is quite simply a delight for the visual senses,

Of course, the true heartbeat of Rogue Warrior: Robot Fighter is the producer and the woman who plays the lead character of Sienna, Tracey Birdsall. In her interview with me she talked about rejecting the cliched 'screaming gorgeous blond woman' often seen in mainstream scifi and horror in favour of the force of nature that is Sienna; " I’ve never been a screaming blonde. No thank you very much. I very much lead with my talent in everything that I do. What you look like just gets you in the door. A movie like Rogue Warrior (any movie to me actually) can’t be cast on looks. When you watch a movie, you have to be drawn into the character and that’s not a reality with looks........Whether you’re male or female (we’ve found out), you will relate with Sienna’s character: you will cheer for her, laugh with her (and at her), cry for her, have angst for her and revel in her."

Do you want to know something? She isn't wrong. I really don't want to come over all hyperbolic and fawning (for a change) but it is safe to say that her complex performance with varying undertones of determination, strength and vulnerability would clearly explain the plethora of awards and future plans for expansion of the Rogue Warrior universe. Yes she looks stunning, mouth-wateringly so in fact - however she skilfully manages to avoid falling into blonde bombshell cliche by making her nuanced character the main focus of audience attention.

Perhaps one of the only niggles with Rogue Warrior: Robot Fighter is the use of the fine ensemble supporting cast. Yes this film is quite clearly driven by Birdsall's character, Sienna, though I couldn't help feeling that the fine performances from the other cast members could have been even further utilised. The likes of Stephen Manley, Tim McGrath and William Kircher are equally good, whilst the character of the wonderfully named 'Skullcrusher' played by the excellent Daz Crawford, could also have been further employed in the narrative.

However, this is but a minor negative and in only in a slight way detracts from what is a genuinely exciting and intelligent science fiction story. It could well be that there are plans to further expand on the story arc of the cast in future, an opportunity that arises after the recent announcement that not only has Sony picked up the film for distribution with an option for further franchise plans, but also that there are also plans now afoot for a TV series.

I'll leave it up to Tracey herself to have the (almost) final say............."Rogue Warrior is a journey - a complicated, exciting, excruciating journey… The relationships are deep and multi-layered, every cast member is skilled and on point, most of the film is practical including the effects where possible (and most of the robots), the arcs and the curves of this film are very much a deep drama delved into a science fiction film - like you’ve never seen before in this genre."

I just cannot argue with those sentiments. I think it's safe to say that the future of Sci-fi looks pretty safe in the hands of Rogue Warrior.

Bridal Fever

A few days ago I was contacted by Hayley McInline who wanted to share news of her directorial feature film debut, Bridal Fever.

Bridal Fever is a gritty, suspenseful feature length horror film written and directed by Hayley McInline. Here we witness the clash where real life meets the supernatural, where the peace and security of everyday life no longer exist and there is nowhere left to hide. It shows just how crazy and savage a wronged woman can become in her path for revenge. The film began shooting in April and has just finished filming its final scenes.

Bridal Fever focuses on the story of Lisa, a good looking, troubled, 23 year old, who is plagued with memories of a traumatic childhood. Lisa, now married, finally thinks she has escaped from the devil inside her, that is until she sees the love of her life cheat with a teenage girl. I don't know about you, but I foresee trouble ahead for the cheating husband, his young lover and anyone else who finds themselves in the the unfortunate position of being their friend. That's right, the Evil Bride is coming for you...... and there is no escape - only excruciating pain!

So what makes me think that this film may have what it takes? Well two things; firstly the director of Photography (Stuart Gilmartin) and the film editor (Ironstar Films) are old friends of 5D - in other words I've seen their previous work and I like what I've seen! Secondly, this evening I was lucky enough to be sent an early version of the film's trailer......... and, well.......

At just a little over 2 minutes the trailer gives enough of an insight into a deliciously horrifying tale of demonic revenge. If you like your scenes of slow painful retribution in which rather inventive methods of dispatch are used, then it looks like this may be the film for you - and me. Believe what I say, it looks chilling and electrifying, all held together with a plentiful dose of dark claustrophobic terror. I genuinely cannot wait to see the finished product.

Hayley McInline is from a special effects background and so has always been extremely passionate about bringing practical effects to our screens, working mainly in the Horror Genre. She creates horrifying characters and brutal wounds that make even the cast and crew wince during filming. Directing her own films has always been her ultimate goal and now Bridal Fever will bring her love of creating unique horrifying characters and her love of storytelling together perfectly.

It certainly bodes well with a fine cast and crew taken from all over Scotland. Bridal Fever stars Nicolette McKeown as the evil bride. Director of photography is Stuart Gilmartin and the film is getting edited by Ironstar.

Keep on checking here at 5D for further news of this intriguing slice of Scottish horror.

Interview with actress Tracey Birdsall

Over the past few months a certain Science Fiction film, not to mention the performance of its leading lady, has been gaining a fair degree of festival and critical recognition. Neil Johnson’s highly anticipated sci-fi actioner ROGUE WARRIOR: ROBOT FIGHTER was named recently as the Opening Night Film at this year’s Action On Film Festival, a festival which is fast becoming a much sought after event to be part of for filmmakers.

"Ahh, but what be this ROGUE WARRIOR: ROBOT FIGHTER that you be speaking of me hearty?" I hear you ask in your best Pirate voice. To be honest, I really have no idea at all why I hear that question in a Pirate voice, I blame the copious amounts of coffee that I've consumed today. However, it's a fair question.

It was a little while ago when I published on the News section of the 5D website at www.5d-blog.com that the film had just won numerous awards at the Malibu West International Film Awards, including Best Actress (Tracey Birdsall), Best Director (Neil Johnson), Sound Design (Vic Kaspar, Dirk Kloiber) and the Unique Vision award (Neil Johnson). Not only that, but it was becoming quite clear from all and sundry that Tracey Birdsall's performance of Sienna—the film’s tough, intelligent and sexy leading character—is nothing short of exhilarating.

Once again I know what you are thinking. However I couldn't possibly comment about the fact that my interest was peaked not only by the fact that a current sci-fi film was gaining some plaudits, but also by the fact that a gorgeous blonde actress was playing the heroine of the story. Nope. Well OK, maybe just a little.

It is at this point is where Tracey Birdsall made her first mistake....... (A sentence that reads infinitely more creepy and sinister that it was actually meant).

Because shortly after she kindly retweeted the 5D website news I immediately decided to do what I do best in this modern social networking world, yes that's right, I sent her a friend request. She then made her second mistake in accepting that request. Her third and final mistake was then actually replying to my pestering for an interview, for which the transcript is below. I'm sure you'll agree that she is a fabulous interviewee.

Just before I show you the interview with her loveliness, here's a look at an excerpt from her IMDB bio for those poor souls who are as yet unfamiliar with Tracey.......

"Tracey Birdsall is an award-winning American film and television actress recognised worldwide for her diverse and challenging roles - which recently earned her the esteemed Female Action Performer of the Year Award at the highly regarded Action on Film Festival for her role of Sienna in the recently Premiered and highly anticipated Science Fiction film Rogue Warrior: Robot Fighter (2016).

Birdsall has four feature films which will be released in 2016 alone: The lead of Sienna in the up-coming science fiction film Rogue Warrior: Robot Fighter (2016) opposite William Kircher, Daz Crawford, and Stephen Manley, the lead of Jenna in the up-coming comedy feature Who's Jenna...? (2016) opposite Bill Sorvino, Garry Pastore, and Joseph D'Onofrio, playing herself in the up-coming Australian comedy Diary of a Fatman (2016), and the role of Dijanne in the up-coming science fiction film At the Edge of Time (2016). She was also just cast as the female lead in Dance of the Blue Tattoo opposite Harry Lennix (The Blacklist (2013), filming soon in Gran Canaria. Birdsall can be seen opposite Barry Corbin once again in 2017 in The Time War (2017), a time travel film featuring a narration by Christopher Lee.

She was the female lead the feature film I Might Even Love You (1998) opposite Leigh McCloskey and James Van Patten which had a Cannes Festival debut, and also performed in films including but not limited to The Prophet's Game (2000) (starring Dennis Hopper), Casino (1992) (starring her good friend Sammy Jackson), Dawn of the Crescent Moon (2014) (opposite Barry Corbin), and Going Very Badly (2014) (opposite Gerry Bednob). She recently voiced the Spaceship Computer on Doomsday (2015) and the Deliverance Computer in Starship: Apocalypse (2014).

In 2014, Birdsall was named honorary Maverick Award Winner at the esteemed Action on Film Festival, and in 2015 the honorary Trailblazer Award at the Temecula Independent Film Festival for her contributions to the entertainment industry."

THE INTERVIEW BIT

5D) Hi Tracey. Thanks for sharing all my 5D posts on Facebook & Twitter so far - all likes, shares & outright public proclamations of love & adoration for my website are always welcome!

TB) Right back atcha! I appreciate the promotion as well :)

5D) First of all, I would like to say many thanks for taking some time out of your schedule to talk to 5D - it's a genuine thrill.

TB) That’s one of the nicest things a guy has ever said to me ;) Happy to be here.

5D) So the traditional opening question; Tell us a little about Tracey Birdsall the woman and how you became part of this whole wonderfully insane business.

TB) I thrive on this business. Every cell of my being wants to take on various characters and live them to a degree that I think only I can do. I’ve worked, trained, studied, worked, trained (you get the point) - most of my life. If I’m not booking, I’m training - because there’s a reason. I absolutely adore the whole process.

5D) Quick challenge - can you tell us something you've never divulged in an interview?..... (I'm looking for a world exclusive here!)

TB) As a kid, I was really bullied. I was quite a nerd, and I had this passion for acting and becoming other people - which did not help at all. I was David Cassidy in the Partridge Family on my front lawn in Burbank (enlisting the younger kids of the neighbourhood of course to play along), I was Marcia in The Brady Bunch… Everything I watched I wanted to do and be. I had a lot of fun being me, but I did catch a lot of flack for it!

We then moved to Channel Islands Harbor when I was going into the fourth grade. There I had to go to a school in Oxnard where they bussed a lot of kids in from “over the tracks.” Somehow my “un-coolness” reached a whole new level and I was beaten up after school almost every day - whole gangs of kids. Luckily, my parents got me into private school after a while, but I never stopped wanting the same thing out of life and I was never going to stop being me no matter how uncool it was at that young age.

In many ways, I see that as part of my development as a human, and I see that as part of my perseverance and adoration of people of all walks of life. I’ve travelled and adore studying people - and I refuse to be afraid of anyone or to compare myself - I just study them. I learn from them. I wonder how the various experiences in my life might feed a future role, and I learn from everyone I meet. My challenges in life led me to have so many layers that I just can’t wait to integrate those layers into roles.

5D) Have you ever visited or worked here in Scotland? (The drinks are on me if you do!)

TB) Ahahahaha! That is meant to be a joke, right?! Scotland is my sensitive spot because part of Rogue Warrior: Robot Fighter was meant to be filmed in Scotland! I was so excited as we had this amazing location we were going to and I had this amazing coat that was meant for sub-zero temperatures as part of my costuming (which I had to instead wear in almost 100 degree heat).

The skies opened and the rain poured in Southern California for a couple of weeks, and one day the Director said to me “My God it looks like Scotland right here!” I felt my stomach drop when I realised that the direction he was pointing meant the loss of my glorious trip to Scotland!

In a pouting mumble…”No I’ve never had the pleasure of going to Scotland…” (But I’ll take a rain check on that drink!)

5D) I seem to remember reading somewhere that you were a childhood sci-fi geek (join the club) - what were your particular obsessions?

TB) I was a huge Star Trek fan (thanks to my dad who would supply ample amounts of rocky road ice cream to me when the episodes came on - with chocolate sauce), and that led to the whole realm of possibilities: Star Wars, Logan’s Run was one of my favourites, Lost in Space, Planet of the Apes… the list can go on for miles. Basically, I loved the idea of possibilities and imagination all mixed into one.

I had a particular obsession of playing a bald painted character on Star Trek for many years, but that never materialized…

5D) What about horror films, are you a fan & would you see yourself appearing in that genre?

TB) I’ve done a couple of horror films, but never in the classic scream queen way. I’ve only been the smart/resolute character. In some ways that’s awesome, as I see how the scream queens get pigeon-holed in character. You see, I want to play the gamut and I have the most fun with the most difficult and challenging roles. I loved it when I did Rogue Warrior, and Director Neil Johnson said to me at one point after a scene “I don’t think any other actress could do that.” That’s the kind of work I live for. Give me the impossible, give me the arcs, give me something to bring to life that makes someone say “Oh my God.” Rinse and repeat.

5D) So Rogue Warrior has been getting all sorts of plaudits far and wide. How did you first become involved in the project?

TB) The Director wanted me to be a lead in his next film and presented me several scripts to read. One of them, Planet Crash, had a lot of elements that were appealing to me: grit, passion, physicality, and artificial intelligence. He kept re-writing the script over and over until it was something we had to bring to life. The layers and the complexity and the character were something I had never seen in Science Fiction before and I just had to bring it to life (remember the David Cassidy story here) - and I knew it would be the hardest thing I had ever done (and I love challenges.) I knew the commitment just in prep time would take me months and months of full-time work but it had every element of what I needed to do next.

5D) So go on Tracey - tell us why we should see this film!!

TB) Rogue Warrior is a journey - a complicated, exciting, excruciating journey… The relationships are deep and multi-layered, every cast member is skilled and on point, most of the film is practical including the effects where possible (and most of the robots), the arcs and the curves of this film are very much a deep drama delved into a science fiction film - like you’ve never seen before in this genre. Whether you’re male or female (we’ve found out), you will relate with Sienna’s character: you will cheer for her, laugh with her (and at her), cry for her, have angst for her and revel in her. You will see what worlds are like that have been overcome by AI (not that hard to even imagine this day in age) - and you will see that in the end it is another beginning - just not what you expect.

5D) The role of Sienna that you play, apart from obviously being a sexy heroine, is also intelligent, tough and resourceful. Was this important to you not to play the cliched 'screaming blonde’?

TB) Absolutely and always. I’ve never been a screaming blonde. No thank you very much. I very much lead with my talent in everything that I do. What you look like just gets you in the door. A movie like Rogue Warrior (any movie to me actually) can’t be cast on looks. When you watch a movie, you have to be drawn into the character and that’s not a reality with looks. Remember here, you’re talking to a young girl that was a geek… and always will be.

5D) Hey, congratulations on picking up the Best actress award in Malibu West International Film Awards! What was the experience like?

TB) It’s always fantastic to be recognised for your work. It’s icing on the cake for a couple of days. I had just won Female Action Performer of the Year the month prior at Action on Film Festival, so I feel like two of the hardest things I did this year went recognised (within the same project). The best award I’ve had lately though is the feeling I had when the Premiere ended and I saw the reaction on everyone’s faces. When you work as hard at something as I do, that’s the true reward.

5D) A few days ago the exciting news was hearing that SONY has picked up ROGUE WARRIOR; & a franchise is planned together with a proposed to series - will that feature yourself?

TB) Absolutely! It’s a very exciting time in my life that I’ve worked decades for.

5D) So what does the future hold for Tracey Birdsall?

TB) I will work until I die. I will continue to work harder than most people around me and I will continue to pay off. I adore what I do, and I adore the training/character development/punishment. I might take a vacation at some point (it’s been a couple of years since vacation meant something other than gym training or SnapChat for 5 minutes!). I will continue trying to pay-it-forward, and I will continue being the best me that I can be - and hopefully entertaining everyone along the way. :)

I would like to give my sincere thanks once again to Tracey for giving me some of her time - as you can gather, she's a little bit busy at the moment.
