"Daniel is a teenage boy who discovers he used to have magical powers. With their parents being dead, Daniel and his older sister Rebecca are guarded by a magical conjurer and a mischievous fairy. Now it is time for Daniel to get his powers back, as Rebecca has practiced in witchcraft and can now make a potion strong enough. However, once he receives his gift he doesn’t know what might be lurking in the dark realms, waiting for him to get his powers..." -- The blurb from the DVD

This film was made by a total of 10 young people in Edinburgh this year. It contains 74 Visual FX shots, a great soundtrack, and an acting cast of 9. Most young people involved were about 15, including me.

I wrote and directed this (my first project!!) and I also started the ball rolling. I got help from a Media company and we ended up getting £5000 funding to make it. I lost some control over the film at that point, as we were funded to involve lots of young people in the film-making decisions, and so I didn't really get the final say (even as director) but I'm proud of the film.

Please let me know what you think, and how to improve my directing for future projects. I have learned a lot from the film already, but all your ideas will help me make better films in the future!
