INCANTATION PITCH

Filmed in the picturesque Brecon Beacons, the location proved to be incredibly surreal; coupled with the cast donning period clothing, it truly added significant depth and authenticity to the storyline. With a small yet dedicated crew, and the screenplay crafted and directed by the talented Ntiarna, her directing skills genuinely shined through. She demonstrated remarkable ability in managing a cast of up to twenty actors over the course of a three-day shooting schedule. Each cast member, boasting diverse acting styles, responded positively to direction and delivered a captivating performance that truly resonated with the audience.

During intensely emotional scenes, her main actor was granted the necessary space to gradually reach that pivotal emotional point in her performance as she is accustomed to; this approach allowed for a seamless experience as the crew was simultaneously engaged with their equipment. When the moment was right, she was encouraged to dive straight into her role, with both the crew and cast fully prepared for the take. The added challenge of working alongside horses, wolves, spiders, snakes, children, and in a location consisting of protected lands certainly made for a unique experience. Every step of the process was managed well, making it an enjoyable learning opportunity for her future endeavors in directing and writing. Ntiarna embraced a motherly, approachable role with both the crew and cast, creating a safe and comfortable environment for children and animals during breaks, while diligently ensuring that the risk assessment protocols were adhered to throughout the entire shoot.
