2005     ‘Just One More Night’ [Scarlet Cherub] - The actress and incidental characters

This short film is based on one of Nigel’s lyrics. So far the film has been shown at various film festivals, including the Hollywood DV Festival 2005, where it won an award for best make up, the Swansea Bay Film festival 2008, where it won the award for best narrative short, and the Heart of England International Film Festival 2008, where it won the award for best international short. Also shown at various short film events, satellite TV etc etc. ”Pat Garrett's Just One More Night delivers a well crafted performance from Nigel Osner as an aging entertainer, reflecting on a life less than glamorous, but one convincing enough to appear that way to his public. Osner also subtly scripted this performer's life, so it's doubly hard to separate art from life. Which imitates the other? Hard to tell, in this very enigmatic film performance. But that's the point isn't it?”

SCARLET CHERUB      www.scarletcherub.com

Nigel is part of Scarlet Cherub, a group of talented people all committed to independent film production. ‘Just One More Night’ ‘ Just One More Bite’ and ‘The Revelation of Reverend Jones’ are all produced by Scarlet Cherub.

Nigel has now completed two feature film scripts based on Scarlet Cherub shorts.

The first is called ‘The Road to Transylvania’. A child called Jasmin narrates the story of Prince Osnovski, a 500 year old vampire, who journeys to Transylvania to assert his traditional values over a modernised society. Funny, frightening and full of incident, the story is also poignant. At its core lies the relationship between the young Jasmin and Osnovski, who are both trying to find out where they fit in the world. For more information see www.roadtotransylvania.com

The second is called ‘Swansea Rose’ and develops the story of Reverend Jones.
