Bela-Bela is not short of talent now that a locally produced film, Fear of Hue: The Barghest, is to be screened in February at the prestigious Cineplay film awards in New York, United States.Curtis Ryan Woodside from Bela-Bela, producer of the film, took some time to speak to The Post.“Fear of Hue: The Barghest, is the sequel to our feature “Fear of Hue”, 100 years after an American woman had bought Gunby Hall (situated in England) on auction. The place stood empty since the last owner, and the locals believed that it is haunted by a demonic hound, a Barghest.”Woodside said that the sequel was filmed within 11 hours, shot at Chateau Larize Country House outside Bela-Bela on a R0 budget. He said the owners have always been very supportive of his films and since the filming of the original film, it made sense to create a sequel at the same venue.The original film, Fear of Hue, was narrated by Daniel Radcliffe, known for his role in the Harry Potter series, starring Woodside, Maruscha Nel and Alecia Germishuys.The talent for the sequel consist of Tamarin Gericke, Kashini Govender (Miss Photogenic Limpopo 2016) and Woodside himself.“Tamarin, the lead, is an amazing actress. She is focused and an absolute perfectionist. Kashini is pure beauty inside and out, such a joy to have worked with and helped to keep everything light hearted. I cannot imagine the production with anyone else.” Woodside’s mother, Cheryl, also played an integral part of the team.On asking his preferred type of genre when creating films, Woodside said it all depends on his mood.“I love mystery and magic, but sometimes I like historical, and even modern day realism. You should never be scared to explore new stories and ideas.”The sequel was nominated for several categories — best short film, best actor, best director and public choice best — at the New York Cineplay festival, after public voting on Cineplay’s online streaming service. The film will also be screened to the audiences at the start of the festival.As a bonus, the film will also compete and be screened at the Cameroon International Film Festival during April.“It is possibly Africa’s most respected film festival. Among that, we received news that it will be included this Augustus in the AM Egypt international film festival which will be held in Cairo.” Woodside said these events will hopefully lead to an entire feature film or even a series.With the film being fairly successful, Woodside said he is honoured to have such amazing friends who share the same dream and passions.“As a writer, once you have created a character they are still alive in your mind, and after the original story, I had to tell the next chapter. The viewer will truly be intrigued to discover what happened next, even if this film does stand on its own. It is filled with mystery and a few good jumps to keep you guessing.”Woodside became active in the filming industry when he was about 16 years old and later started CRW Productions.“For novice filmmakers: just keep practicing, believe in what you are doing and if you want something — make it happen.”Woodside’s films can be watched on YouTube at youtube.com.CurtisRyanWoodside and fans can follow him on Instagram or Facebook at Curtis Ryan Woodside. - by Andries van der Heyde Original Source: http://www.diepos.co.za/articles/news/40562/2017-01-27/local-talented-crew-off-to-film-awards-in-new-york
