thrillersuspense's avatarThriller/Suspense Film and Writing Festival

Watch the Audience FEEDBACK for SUBMERGED:

submerged_movie_posterHere’s what the audience had to say about SUBMERGED (moderated by Matthew Toffolo):

“Was he dead or not dead? 60% of the audience says yes. 40% says no.”

“He’s trying to get to her and he’s so scared of dead. He needs to learn to be free in order to get to the love of his life.”

“At the beginning this film had a distinct feel of helplessness. Then he learns to let go and dying makes him free. A morbid and spectacular film.”

“This is a film about someone trying to find their path after life ends.”

ONE HOT SUMMER, Chapter 21 Reading:

BUY ONLINE:
http://www.amazon.com/One-Hot-Summer-Ian-Barker/dp/0620547820

Read by actress Val Cole

Get to know writer Ian Barker:

1. What is your novel about?

It’s a coming of age story, set in the mid-1970s in a small town in northern England during one of the hottest summers on record.

2. Why should this novel be read by people?

The ’70s can in some ways now seem more distant than the Victorian era. It was a very different time from today – no mobile phones, no internet – and yet in some ways quite modern. I hope the book gives a flavour of the era but it also holds some universal truths about life and growing up.

3. How would you describe this novel in two words?

Witty, wise

4. What movie have you seen the most in your life?

The Italian Job (1969…
