Martin Radich explains how he made his film with a tiny budget, minimal crew and no script.
Crack Willow was made with a tiny budget, minimal crew and no script. Last June, we visited the bedroom where the film was being edited to discover how the production was progressing.
Crack Willow is an affectionate portrait of one man's struggle with death and loneliness. Mark Walker's journey is an exploration of emotions captured through the use of vivid, powerful and imaginative imagery.

As a writer and director Martin has made ten short films. His short films "A Good Man is Hard to Find" and "In Memory of Dorothy Bennett" won the Fox Searchlight Award for Best Short Film at the Edinburgh International Film Festival two years in a row. As a Director of Photography he has shot over twenty-five commercials and over thirty short dramas and documentaries.
Watch the video above to find out from the production team how the film came about, featuring exclusive clips.
