The Tape - a film and music project
Truro, England, United Kingdom
Aim
THE TAPE is a new feature film set in Cornwall by singer-songwriter Martha Tilston, containing new music that will form her next album.
THE TAPE
"A film with music at its heart – think ‘ONCE’ but in the windswept world of Cornwall with themes of staying true to yourself and taking bold steps towards happiness."
A piano, an old tape recorder, an empty Cornish cottage, a feral child, a love story, wild swimming, and a reminder to get back to our creative souls.
Written and directed by musician Martha Tilston, recently nominated for Best Arts Programme at the Celtic Media Festival for her film 'Cliff Top Sessions', this feature film will also include her next album.
A musician who has lost her faith in her art and a disillusioned lawyer who has lost his sense of self are thrown together, reigniting their creative passion and offering them the chance of a new future.
Tally, Cornwall’s worst cleaner, is a songwriter who has lost her confidence.
While opening up an empty house, she finds a piano and a 4-track recorder, inspiring her to record just one copy of an album on an old cassette tape for the mysterious owner of the house. When the tape is mislaid, her secret is out - will she take the leap towards a new phase in her career and finding love?
The film's soundtrack is the very album she records on the shoot, and will be Martha's next release.
"Do what makes you come alive, because what the world needs now is people that have come alive"
- Howard Thurman
