watch

Some short things to watch that you won’t have seen probably. But also my showreel for professional reasons.

SHOWREEL.

THE ONE AND ONLY HERB MCGWYER PLAYS WALLIS ISLAND.

Key and Basden went somewhere in Wales with James Griffiths and a small crew and made a short film in about 2009. It's quite long for a short film but also quite good for a short film.

Dir. James Griffiths.

THE AMAZING HEDGE PUZZLE.

A policeman chases a handbagged snatcher into a disused maze. Classic stuff. Key’s the policeman, Basden’s the delinquent.

Dir. Alex Wincklet.

ANTHONY.

Santa crash lands on Boxing Day. He and his elf have to survive, and get back on the road. But it’s bloody cold and cracks emerge.

Dir. J Van Tulleken.

THE DATE.

Key and his friend Jelson make short, short films, usually based on Key's poems. This one is about a date where the guy drinks the wrong amount to get to his optimum level at playing pool. It’s actually one of the longer ones. There are more curiosities here.

Dir. J Van Tulleken.

THE SIREN.

Key got dunked in a water tank for Masterslut, a stage show that also had a screen. . This bit is when Key finds a siren. Steve Jameson swam down with a camera and also made Next Goal Wins which is, to be scrupulously fair to Steve Jameson, ideal.

Dir. Steve Jamison.

KEY RUNNING.

Just Key running.

Dir. J Van Tulleken.

COWARDS.

Cowards is/are Key, Tom Basden, Stafan Golaszewski and Lloyd Woolf.  In the end they made three episodes of Cowards for the BBC. Then it got cancelled and they all went for a curry. Some of it remains on the Internet though...

Dir. Steve Bendelack.

INTERVIEWING BO.

Key met Bo Burnham in Edinburgh and then had to interview him. Not a problem. Key loves Bo.

SQUASH.

Finally. Key and Horne smashing a ball about in a box. In suits, natch. Fifteen years ago now. Sporty.

Dir. Alex Horne.
