Writer & Director Nathan Haines from Iron Box Films talks to us about his debut short film An Imperfect Cadence. A gripping drama that explores the intersection of artistic ambition and physical limitation. Haines’ meticulous attention to authenticity sets the film apart, he deliberately chose the harp, recognising that a harpist’s story hadn’t been extensively explored in cinema. His commitment to realism led him on an extraordinary journey to source a rare German Hörngacher harp, connecting him with the principal harpist of the Vienna Philharmonic and other elite musicians who helped shape the film’s musical authenticity. Combining elements of drama and thriller while tackling the complex technical challenges of filming musical performances. An Imperfect Cadence marks an impressive start for Nathan’s directorial career and sets the stage for his next project.
An Imperfect Cadence will screen as part of the 8th edition of Brighton Rocks on Saturday the 21st as part of our ‘Drama Rocks I’ session.
