Director Statement

The origins of the script come from watching Alfred Hitchcock’s “Vertigo,” what would happen if you role reversed the central characters?

Thus a wife following her husband, but for what purpose? To what aim? Second, from my unconscious I drew sketches of a young woman holding a candle in a basement surrounded by jars of anatomy.

Finally I knew someone who was affected by the trauma of domestic abuse and I wanted to show someone overcoming this trauma. Combined together came the screenplay for Trophy wife.

The film took three/four months in pre-production, eight very very intense days filming, coupled to six months in post production.

I am beyond words, how grateful I am to the cast Paola Ceseracciu, Michael Hoad, Tanya Beckett, Emily Jack, Spencer Allum & Tony Deufemia; Crew, Sophie Marchant, David Gregory, Psyona Williams, Rod Ramsey, Krzysztof Rodzik, Nativit Khlongmekhun, Florence Gibson and Executive Producers Andrew D. Dobson, Des Howarth, Tanya Beckett & Peter J. Owen, without whom, this film would not exist.

The making of Trophy Wife took personal sacrifice, time, patience and a herculean amount of work. I hope the film is an entertaining thriller with a deeper message about existence, freewill and overcoming hardship.
