Mr Somebody? KING OF THE ECCENTRICS

 

Independent Feature Length Documentary Directed by Michelle Heighway,

Featuring British Eccentric Jake Mangle-Wurzel

In April 2011 I attended a very useful workshop for independent filmmakers called Seize the Future,

organised by The Sheffield Doc Fest. I was inspired by lots of new ideas and ways to create

a buzz about my character driven documentary.

So far I have been following Jake Mangle-Wurzel since 2008; totally unfunded!

Using Mini DV tapes, super 8, and archived VHS tapes; I have so far managed

to gain 45 hours of footage.

Short Documentary Project  Who is Elaine Davidson? (My first short Documentary after leaving University 2007)

 As I walked down the street Elaine caught my eye. I was impressed with the visual array of colours from her hair braids and face paints.

She seemed to have a huge presence that I was drawn to. It was then that I approached Elaine and asked her for permission to make a short documentary.

 

In 2010 I licensed three minutes of Who is Elaine Davidson? to a company in Japan for FUJI TV, http://www.geonet-dm.com/home/. It will be screened as part of a full length documentary with lots of other unusual characters.
