The life of anyone associated with Film Production is littered with incomplete projects and this sadly is one of Michel Parry's. The principle photography and editing were carried out but the final stages of post production, sound mix, married print etc were never completed due to financial and technical difficulties that in this digital age could easily be surmounted. The production was touted in the underground newspaper" International Times" and magazines such as "Gothique" dedicated to the arcane in music film and art. On set photos were published of the shoot which took place in the "Roundhouse" a venue in London's Camden Town area converted from a railway building which then as now hosted many music gigs. The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, The Who, The PInk Floyd and the Rolling Stones have all appeared there. At the time that Michel used it as a set it was firmly associated with the cutting edge of psychedelic culture. In the mood of the times the "spirit" of the place would have been considered very potent. Sadly the few pictures that appeared are currently all that is available to judge what might have been. The materials are still extant so its possible that this seminal work might eventually surface. I hope so as the Surreal and Mystical side of Michel which is present in his other works would make this a must see.
