This five-minute short was shot in early March 2004 with director Francois Gandolfi, following
our work together on The Secret of Year Six.
The Seduction Club premiered at the Brummiewood event on Friday 7 May at the MAC in Birmingham, followed by a screening at the Moving Picture Company, Wardour Street, London on Tuesday 11 May.
This is one of those films you make that you hold your hands up to afterwards and say, 'Well, we really fucked up there.' Several people have insisted that it's not a bad short, but it's healthy to be able to recognise when you've turned out a dud, and this is one that both myself and Francois would rather forget.
The idea, though, is one I'm keen to pursue, and I'm currently working on a novel called The Seduction Club and writing a TV series based around the same idea. It's like Hustle, but with fucking, not thieving.
