When looking for work at 50 meets the menopause and AI: The Pause,
 

A woman battling job loss, menopause, and self-doubt hilariously confronts midlife horror, both real and imagined, and discovers her true calling in the most unexpected place: the horror genre itself.

A privilege and so much fun to be working with Sam Grierson, the Writer and Director of this film and creator of So Crocodile.

I met Sam back in the late 1990’s at University and re-connected last year, just as she was developing and pushing into her film work.  She’s such a force of nature and awesome to be around and work with.  So, after catching up and taking some head shots one afternoon in Birmingham –  I hadn’t really got any option but to say yes to blasting it across country one Thursday evening after work earlier this year to catch at least a little of the behind the scenes of the filming!

Between Sam and Gill, they managed to recreate a cemetery scene in a garden, with some outstandingly creative gravestones  – add in a little smoke, wait for dark and game on!
