Amelia and Michael

“This short is beautifully shot, gently taking its time to unfold, and the presence of professional actors like stage and screen veteran Anthony Head really raises the bar a notch: on this evidence, Daniel Cormack is a young director to watch.” Greg Hilditch, Hotdog, Issue 83 “Anthony Head packs an emotional punch in this pacey drama about a wealthy spouse exploring the matrimonial big guns of infidelity, guilt and remorse from directorial debutant Daniel Cormack...the direction succinctly navigates the twists of the plot - which has little dialogue - to a gratifyingly ambiguous conclusion.” Abigail Lelliott, Time Out (London), Issue 1956, 13-19 February 2008 “"Amelia and Michael" is an infidelity drama that benefits from fine acting and first-rate production values.” Jeff Shannon, The Seattle Times, 28th August 2008 “These little shorts are often a delight, and, in this case, intriguing…Nicely observed by director Daniel Cormack, both Powell and Head are super here, and the drama leaves you wanting a lot more, which is terrific. Highly recommended.” PICK OF THE DAY Paul Strange, DigiGuide “[T]his is quality stuff, great performances, a script that doesn't go too far, beautiful photography and a real sense of cinema. It felt very European, like one of those films in which Daniel Auteil and Juliette Binoche fall in love and break up, one of those films that somehow, as a rule, we can't do in this country. With this well cast, well acted, well made film Daniel Cormack seems therefore to be breaking all the rules without breaking sweat or showing off.” Ben Blaine Ben’s Blog, Shooting People
