My name is Jonathan Entwistle. I'm a director who is interested in telling stories; real, simple, everyday stories. I want my films to reflect the people and places that I saw when I was growing up and all of the contrasts I have encountered since.
I have been commissioned through Film London’s Pulse scheme to make my short film project Mulligatawny. Thanks to everyone who has helped in the development process. Can’t wait to get started.
In brief, the film is about a 68 year old woman trapped in a world of racism and violence in Hackney. Her down and out husband returns after a 2 month bender and with him comes the usual tide of hatred – Hatred of everyone, everywhere and everything. His attitude mimics the world in which they all try to live.
I am currently half way through shooting The Good North in and around Rochdale and Oldham in the North of England. It’s been fantastic! Been working with the fantastic Jack Deam, Linzey Cocker & Zoe Iqbal. Next week, on to the interiors with Michelle Holmes and Diane Beck!
Using the 7D, it’s perfect for this project! Smaller chip size means it has a fantastic ‘cinema’ feel. To be honest, framing up feels like we are using 35mm again :-) Justin Brown is DoP, great to get to work with him on a short. It’s all going well! Can’t wait to finish and get down to cutting…
After a long winded process the A.Human/Gaggle featurette is now finished and available to view.

There are some pictures below from the building of the set and also, whilst I had the 5D around I shot some footage of the build which I will try and cut together.
