Her parents house was bombed and luckily they escaped but her hair was...

The Shaman just had a successful outing at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York with lots of talk about its’ originality and the excellent special effects, so I can’t wait to see what everybody thinks about the film in London. Catch it if you can. http://sci-fi-london.com/festival/2015/programme/short/programme-4 2:00pm – Sun, 31st May 2015 8:50pm – Thu, 4th Jun 2015 Written and Directed by Marco Kalantari and shot in Austria and Iceland it...
