Crowds
gather outside the Science Museum. |

On
Friday (12/09/03) the much anticipated and looked-forward
to premiere of Paul’s film trailer was shown in
the IMAX cinema at the Science Museum, London. A large
group was able to come from all over to see the premiere
of Paradox, a complex ‘time travel/horror/comedy’,
as Paul has penned it. The whole evening was most enjoyable
and entertaining.
First
of all, we saw Paul’s award winning short film Mightier,
made in 2001. Then, we saw the promotional trailer and
selected scenes for the current project, Paradox, which was not only entertaining, but also professionally
filmed and produced. Paul, and his friend Paul Terry,
who together make up Evil Hypnotist Productions, clearly
have great talent for creating and making films. |
As
Paul explained to the audience, the aim is to now get
a production company to give them money with which to
make Paradox into a feature length movie. Movie
making has been a dream of Paul’s for more years
than he can remember, after being brought up on a diet
of comics and Star Wars. However, few people
make the fantastic progress which EHP has made, and we
wish Paul the very best of luck for the future.
Many
in the audience were in the film itself, which caused
some amusement. One day, those people will be proud to
say ‘Me? Yeah I’ve worked with Williams.
I was the zombie second from left next to the skip’.
However, Friday night also served as a touching tribute
to the star of the film who is no longer able to make
that claim. |
PW
entertains EHP fans with yet another amusing
tale of filmmaking. |

Another
amusing tale goes down well with Simon Llyod

before. |

Phil
Thomas acted the part of Ben in Paradox, and
was an inspiration for Paul in making the film. His tragic
passing in July meant he never got to see the finished
product, which certainly showed him at his best: funny,
cheeky, energetic and hugely talented. Paul Terry said
after the premiere that they hoped above all that the
film was an apt tribute to Phil, and that it was well
received by his parents and sister who were all in the
auditorium.
Particular thanks goes to Sergio Simion who was largely
responsible for organising the event.
Once again, we wish Paul’s Terry and Williams the
very best of luck for the future, and many thanks for
a most entertaining evening.
