It’s pretty clever and I’m eager to see what DP does next.
The Deleted Playhouse fishes early drafts of scripts out of the trash, then shoots the scenes that didn’t make the final cut with no location, preparation, or decent wigs.

Enjoy!

Check it out!

Since the schedule for my redesign has been extended longer than I’d thought, I shall pick up new posts at EP within the next week. Until then, I leave you all with this newly discovered 1 minute reel of 1904 London.

“While footage from the inchoate beginnings of cinema often involves staged performance, the 12-minute reel features ordinary London folk going about their normal lives. The film was shot as a travelogue for people living in Australia, either those curious about life in the Old Country, or who’d emigrated but wanted to show their offspring what they’d left behind. Hence this panorama of the commonplace, showing a London on the cusp of modernity, captured in what was at the time a revolutionary new medium.”
