A MORASS
A MORASS, Paradyll Productions debut feature, is a neo-noir spy film following secret agent Traveller, working for an organization known only as The Bureau. Having disgraced himself on his last mission, Traveller is taken out of the cold and given one last chance with a cryptic objective: he must find the mysterious Sterns.
Re-entering the world from The Bureau’s scrapheap, Traveller is instructed to keep a Dictaphone record of his every movement. On his journey, Traveller must contend with the ghosts of his past and mine his way through traps set by enemy operatives in his search for the answer to the ultimate question: who is Sterns?

On David Bowie’s 63rd birthday, Shane, Ross and Assistant Director Stacey Elliston embark on the second round of A MORASS auditions and finalize the cast. Please visit the ‘Cast’ tab to view everyone's photos and bios.
Shane and Ross receive a loan in the form of a lighting kit for A MORASS from friend and colleague John Ryder of Fellaheen Films.
The first round of auditions is held.
Another blessing from on high... Shane meets legendary Oscar winning Director/Producer/Writer Joseph Strick (Ulysses, A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man, Tropic Of Cancer) at the Barbican and briefly discusses DV filmmaking with him. Strick gives A MORASS his best wishes.
Shane feverishly continues work on the script in an all night session.
With the story’s structure now locked in place, time for Shane to polish the dialogue...
Shane has a chance meeting with old friend, actress Nina Hatchwell, during another trip to the BFI (this time, a member’s only preview of Clouzot’s Inferno) which results in Nina taking on the role of Caroline.
Our camera arrives! Ross will be shooting A MORASS on the Panasonic GH1, a DSLR camera with full HD video recording.
Meanwhile... Shane excitedly tells Harry (Demuth) and their friends, actor Christian McKay and his wife Emily, about the developments with A MORASS during a day out at the BFI to see Citizen Kane.
A blessing from on high... Shane and Ross discuss independent filmmaking with the great Oscar nominated DoP Dick Pope (The Illusionist, Vera Drake, Me and Orson Welles) and receive his best wishes for A MORASS.
Shane and Ross do glorious B&W SD camera tests for A MORASS and the final results live up to Ross’s pitch to future cast member Harry Macqueen... 'It will be like Pi having sex with Alphaville!’ Please visit our Vimeo or YouTube pages to watch a selection of the footage.
