OKAY everybody, that's a wrap! Three St Annes students have finished their first film -- and it's got them hungry for more!

James Wolstenholme, Jemma Twist and Simon Morgan, pictured here left to right, have been filming for their 20-minute short, Psycho Babble, which is due to premiere at St Annes Pleasure Island cinema on Halloween.

At a cost of around £2,500 the three film fanatics have completed the shooting stage of the production and now have the laborious task of piecing it together in the edit.

But the team have enjoyed it so much they are already thinking about making another.

"It has been such a good experience," said 20-year-old Simon, who shared the responsibility of directing and producing the film with Jemma and James. "It has also been a learning experience," he added.

"It was pretty hard and there were lots of unexpected things. For the front room in the film we used a holiday flat and it was really small. "There were the cast, three members of crew, the lights and cameras all in this tiny space.

"Plus the windows were blacked out and the actors were smoking, so you can imagine the atmosphere in there."

First time acting in the film was 27-year-old Leigh Crawford who found that patience was a real virtue for the budding actor.

"It was really stressful as there was a lot of hanging around," said Leigh.

"The first day I wasn't needed, so I had to sit in this small room, being totally silent with my phone switched off, reading the same paper over and over again."

Jemma explained how lucky they had been with the cast and crew. "Most of the shots we managed to get done in just one take.

"It was only some of the really long scenes that people fluffed their lines and I think the maximum number of takes we had to do on one scene was five."

Now the team just have to assemble the film's labyrinth-like plot about a serial killer into something that makes sense.

"We are on schedule for our Halloween premiere," James said. "But no-one is allowed to see it until then!"
