The Invader's Song is a short film directed by Emma Swinton starring John Rhys-Davies.
When a curious young girl (Amy Gravestock) discovers a viking melody with the power to lure cattle, she finds a new respect for nature, and risks her life to save the cows from slaughter.
A magical tale of folklore set on the Isle of Man, this short film challenged me in many ways. Working with a tiny team of just myself and my Production designer we managed to create a world inhabited by Vikings and Celts. All sets were on location including a replica Viking long house we dressed to create a Celtic home. A whirlwind shoot of just four days, working with children, animals and the Great British weather!
