Animal Charm Premiere



Last week (Tuesday 31st) I attended the international premiere of ‘Animal Charm’, a new film production by Talenthouse. The event took place at the incredibly stylish Wyld Bar in the W Hotel and was attended by many a fabulous person, such as the Director, Ben Charles Edward and leading ladies Sadie Frost and Sally Philips. As well as these two wonderful, British actresses, the film also included some impressive cameos from Michael Urie, Boy George and Jodie Harsh.

Animal Charm is A British, Indie, gothic, horror, black comedy, fashion film. I know that this sounds like a lot of genres for one short film, but honestly, that sentence is the best way to sum it up. Here’s a little blurb for you. Anne Thrope (Sadie Frost) is an ex fashion designer and a fur fanatic. She puts on a very tasteless, musical performance of Animal Farm, in the midst of which she is kidnapped by her long-time rival and old-time ‘frenemy’ Audrey Hoober (Sally Philips). Thrope proves not be the best behaved of hostages which results in some disturbing yet amusing scenes.

The night was a great success. The venue was perfect and I always enjoy being welcomed somewhere with a complimentary cocktail.

 I really can’t urge you enough to go and see the film; I’m looking forward to seeing it again very soon. Ben Charles Edward is clearly a very gifted and talented director and writer ( he co-wrote Animal Charm with Dominic Wells) and Sadie and Sally were just brilliant. I don’t know if they’ve acted together before (I don’t think they have) but they just seemed to bounce off one another which made the funny scenes even funnier. Go and see it if ever you get chance. Loved it.
