The Thrill is Gone - Spec Musical Short Film
In the summer of 2025, with no one left to live there, it looked like we would have to say goodbye to my grandparents gorgeous home in Folkestone.
I wanted some way to commemorate and immortalise the house. I knew my memories of it would slowly fade and I wanted to have something to go back to and look at.
Each room has so much character, nothing is understated, every decision is bold. The directorial vision of @ariannascarpa.films and performance from @solo_chiara@lew.is_noble can be described exactly the same way.
Getting to revisit the house through the perspective of a cinematographer instead of a grandson, and opening up a home that existed only as a childhood memory to a wonderful crew, was a real joy. This was one of two shoots done in this house, second one to come soon…
