The Signal and the Noise | 2025 | Warning: flashing images
We had a test screening yesterday of
The Signal and the Noise. For Megan Calver and me, it was our first time of seeing (and hearing) the film at cinema scale. Our 15-minute short explores the legacy of the World War II engineer and paranormal researcher Alec Harley Reeves, and his collaboration with the spirit of a dead physicist: Michael Faraday.
Most of the small, invited audience of about 20 people had some connection with the film. Many had supported us as we developed the work and ideas that became part of this film. Others provided a voice or made an appearance, offered technical expertise, had input to funding applications, shared material, helped to clear permissions or simply provided support at home to enable us to work. It was all incredibly important to us.
There’s lots to take away from seeing the film in this new setting as well as from the feedback we received. It’s been quite a journey – learning how to make a film by hands-on involvement in many different aspects of film-making. But we have done what we set out to do - make a stand-alone work suitable for submitting to film festivals and screenings.
