If you are a fan of actor and filmmaker Dominic Brunt, you will no doubt be interested in our new interview with him, which has just been uploaded onto YouTube. Brunt has directed numerous horror films, including Attack of the Adult Babies and Wolf Manor. Outside of the horror genre, Brunt has also been playing Paddy Kirk in Emmerdale since 1997, so he is clearly a major celebrity who the British public will be very familiar with.
Brunt regularly attends FrightFest, and he was there this year to promote Broken Bird, which had its world premiere at the event. Written by Brunt and directed by his wife, Joanne Mitchell, Broken Bird tells the story of a mortuary assistant named Sybil (Rebecca Calder), who undergoes a downward spiral into the depths of madness, resulting in her causing harm to those who cross her path.
The film was shot in Serbia, and it also stars Sacharissa Claxton as Emma, a police officer named Emma, who is searching for her missing son, with the supporting cast including James Fleet, Rupert Procter, Jay Taylor, Jessica Yemi, and Steven William Moore. And if the premise of Broken Bird seems familiar, you probably will not be surprised to learn that it was adapted from a short film called Sybil, which was also directed by Mitchell.
We caught up with Brunt at FrightFest to discuss Broken Bird, and he offered us some very interesting details about the unique film. The interview can be viewed in the video player below, and we certainly hope that you enjoy hearing what Brunt had to say. At the same time, since Broken Bird was one of the most unique and haunting films to have been screened at FrightFest this year, you should certainly make the effort to track it down as soon as you get the chance.
