Short film - 10 Doors Closing

A poetry driven story set on the London Underground. The poem is one I wrote a couple of years ago. This is the first film I made and was a real learning experience as I never went to filmschool. It's been shown at Raindance East, Supershorts,and some other festivals Please feel free to leave a comment... Thanks. Oh and heres the words..


How sweet, Loves first kisses
The lingering caresses of two hearts..
Unwilling to break the spell of ages...
You came to me,
Bourne on the breath of hope..
And I was safe in your love..

As we part now...
You descend in to the underworld..
A place where time obeys a different master
And only the fleet of foot stay quick

Unnatural fires burn a prickly light
And the war drums pound
As you, my Hero
Dodging devils and wraiths..
Journey down in to the belly of the earth

Deeper.. and deeper, past Siren song
Destiny draws you
To the place..
Where hissing steely serpents
Feast on the hopes of men...

The gleaming labyrinth beckons..
A palace of memories,
And jagged dreams...
..of what could have beens..
Glistening, with the salty fruit of pain
And regret..

I feel you..
In my blood..And in my bones
Your heart beats out the rhythm of my joy
An intricate and intoxicating dance..
I know you...

The end is near, my love... fear not..
For even in that darkest hour,
At the end of the world
When all is lost...
.....
I am here....

Never have I watched a video that was able to rob me off my breath, in a positive note that is. To say that this video was phenomenal itself would be an understatement. Truly mind-blowing. This video has been on replay for the past few hours, and every single time, I still get the same experience. Brilliant! Good job! The society needs more people who are creative like the person behind this video. The quiet intimate voice of the narrator made it even better. Two thumbs up for this one! =)
