ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS
Andrew and Jessica have been making short films for the past fifteen years. Credits include the award winning LEAVE ME ALONE, COOK BOOK and the acclaimed documentary TOFU MAN.
Originally from Canberra Australia, Andrew worked for several years as an actor in the UK, playing challenging roles such as 'Mr. Bruce the Aussie Tourist' on The Basil Brush Show. He also produced the cult hit Australian comedy 'The Vegemite Tales' in London's West End before moving back to settle in Melbourne's Sunshine.
Jessica trained as an actor at the Drama Centre London before a successful television and stage career. Jessica comes from a long line of performers and directors in her family and she has combined her passion for the environment and performance through her children's book and theatre character 'Mrs Ticklebottom'.
Basing our character on the look of Dickens' Miss Havisham, we wanted to tell the story of a lonely ghoul, living in a modern world. She faces the same challenges and desires as every other person. Except she's a little more grey. And dead.
