Ryan Owen Eddleston is in the director’s chair here, helping Brighton’s Electric Soft Parade bring a tear to your eye. Brothers from the band, Thomas and Alex, double on production duties in this emotive short about a young man haunted with thoughts of a recently ended relationship.
“I met Thomas (from Electric Soft Parade) in a pub in Brighton about two years ago and we talked about collaborating on a video together,” Ryan explains. “I’d worked with [actor] Catrin Stewart on a couple of things who has gone on to work on Stella and Doctor Who, and I worked with Robin – who was a promising actor on the second year in the Royal Welsh College – and it was the perfect opportunity for us all to work together.
“When me, Thomas and Alex – who are brothers in the band – chatted about the idea, we were keen to film in parts of Brighton that hadn’t really been covered before, and we shot very quickly over about five hours.”
