We watched Ashley Wing’s Hard Day’s Knight again at Two Short Nights’ D+CFilm open screening last week, and we’re pleased to say it went down really well with the audience.

D+CFilm caught up with Ashley after the screening and asked him for
his thoughts.

He said: “I’m really pleased with how A Hard Day’s Knight turned out. It was an extremely cheap and quick to shoot and the results are satisfactory. I’m pleased the audience took to it and enjoyed it. It is, after all, what keeps me going.

“After much pondering if I’ll continue making any more films due to fitting it all in around my full time job and the cost of making movies, I’m happy to say I have more to give.

“I’m still writing my feature which won’t see the light of day until next year, but it is in ongoing development and coming along nicely. It’s a character-driven, post-nuclear drama.

“I have also been signed on to direct a short film scheduled for a summer shoot. I can’t say too much due to a non-disclosure agreement I had to sign, but I can assure you I’m working hard to ensure it’ll be top quality.

“I have two personal projects I’m working on. The first being a three minute short about Remembrance Day, which is scheduled to shoot in February. The other is a dark comedy about various phobias, due to be shot in November.

“I also have a documentary in the pipeline about the Coyote Rally also due to shoot this year. So, lot’s to do!”

Indeed. We’re glad to hear Ashley has decided not to bin his filmmaking career. We think he’s one of the region’s best, and most ambitious, talents. If D+CFilm exists for any reason, it’s surely to shine a spotlight on the likes of him - though clearly Wing’s doing very nicely without our help!

Anyway, enough of our yacking. Click below to watch A Hard Day’s Knight.
