  My film AQUA was a result of an open call I saw for  Wiro Mag: AQUA  by  Lyndon Watkinson . The open call had the theme of water (open to interpretation) and accepted art in any medium.

I find that chance works best with a restriction, so the fact that this all needed to be done within a month was a great motivator My initial ideas can be seen below: While the sheet of ice idea was not used, I stuck with the idea of someone reading Bush’s lyrics over the footage I created. In terms of who read it, I decided not to ask Abi as I...
