UK-based Ne'er Do Well Films and sometime Twitch contributor Evrim Ersoy are already making waves on the festival circuit, with 2012's Tokophobia in particular proving a shocking and memorable addition to FrightFest's short film programme that year. Writer/director Ersoy reteams with cinematographer Stephen Murphy and producers James Pearcey and Russell Would for his latest effort, Abdullah, a noirish urban nightmare that follows an increasingly alienated Turkish cabbie as he works the bustling, culturally-diverse streets of present day London.It's an excellent little film that should be popping up at a host of film festivals around the world in the coming months, but Twitch can now give you a taste of what's to come with a first look at the film's teaser trailer. Check it out below....

Full disclosure: Generally speaking, I don’t spend a lot of time watching short films. The ones I do catch are usually recommended to me by someone familiar with the project. It’s not that I have anything against shorter movies, mind you, but there’s so many out there that it’s often hard to know where to look. Sifting through the bad to find the good seems like an impossible task. Enter director David Roddham’s “Coward,” which arrived on my cinematic radar courtesy of an unexpected tweet over the weekend. The 28-minute 35mm flick is truly remarkable, from its engaging story to cinematographer Stephen Murphy’s ability to frame some seriously compelling shots. I’m not sure what kind of budget the filmmakers had at their disposable, but I’m guessing it wasn’t much. However, you’d never know this watching the film. Here’s...

Here's a must watch, incredibly well made and intense short called Coward which is set during World War I, and it takes us into the insanity of trench warfare. The movie was directed by David Roddham, and the production design, acting and cinematography are all impressively top-notch! Here's the synopsis:
Coward is a 28 minute film set during World War 1 that brings to light some of the brutal treatment soldiers received for suffering what would now be known as shell-shock.
It follows two cousins, Andrew and James, from their home in Northern Ireland who join the British Army to fight for their Country and make their families proud.
Through their eyes we see the reality of life on the front lines.
I don't see how in the world people could fight a war like this. It's just insane, and there's no way anyone could live through something like this and not...

Director David Roddham describes his new short film Coward in this way: Coward is a short film that takes a cold hard look at the loss of innocence, fear and injustice that Irish-born soldiers in the British army went through during the First World War.The teaser, which you'll find below, certainly hints at such, casting a grim and oppressive mood in just over a minute. And thanks in large part to Stephen Murphy's 35mm cinematography, it's a minute that is liable to stay with you a good deal longer. So, count us on board for the full short, expected to arrive later this year. In the meantime keep up with the post-production process (and catch up on last January's shoot) at the film's official blog....
