As the August clouds loomed ominously, Ben Murray-Watson, co-director of Windmill Young Actors, the community acting group hosted by Blatchington Mill, set out to play the lead role in a new music video for the band, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. However, he wasn’t alone. The story required a number of young actors and therefore the call went out to parents of Windmill Young Actors that here was an opportunity to come and act in a professional film. The story was of a man who had a magnetic body. He awakes to find himself alone on the sea front, a 50p coin stuck to his hand and his keys jumping mysteriously into his palm. As he walks off it’s not just the inanimate objects that cling to him but casual passers-by who turn and follow him as he walks.
Both Ben and business partner, Tanushka Marah, who run Windmill Young Actors, work professionally in theatre and film and are always looking for opportunities to work with their students. Ben said, “Because we run workshops as we run professional rehearsals, we know that our students will be a great asset to any production as they are both focused and able to take direction extremely well. Not only that but they are all fantastically talented!”
