In keeping with the Halloween season, the BOUND team thought a spot of zombie action would be apt. Many of you will no doubt recall my very lovely ex-partner and model, Electric Fairey. What you might not know is that she is a very talented animator. As her final year project, she produced Night of the Loving Dead which exhibits her delightfully twisted sense of humour using Lotte Reiniger’s cut-out animation style. I was at the premier viewing and it was the only film to get any real audience reaction out of a raft of highly professional NFTS final year offerings. Since then, it has done extremely well at film festivals all around the world. I think you’ll enjoy it. Make sure you get your tickets early as there’s also a big rope giveaway. Yes, FREE ROPE! No catches but expect a scrum like Harrods’ sale.
Here’s a brief synopsis: This touching tale tells of Nigel, a lovesick teenage virgin, living under the tyranny of his wicked sex-obsessed stepmother, Barbara. He gets more than he bargained for on Valentine’s Eve when he accidentally brings his old girlfriend, Felicity, back from the dead.
