Not Just a bit of
Fluff....
..................................................................................................
RELEASED May 1st
CERTIFICATE PG
DIRECTOR Sebastian
Whitsfield
CAST Philly Marra, Sebastian
Whitsfield, Terrisha Downton-
Snood and Robbie Judkins
RUNNING TIME 5 mins.
PLOT When a boy, (Sebastian
Whitsfield) cheats on his
‘girlfriend’(Terrisha Downtown
Snood) he seeks wisdom from the
great the buddhist, Robbie Judkins
.........................................
.........................................
A truly creative and meaningful
insight into the trials of young
love.
Philly Marra stands as real joy.
You may have just caught her
recent cameo on ’30 Rock’,
playing the part of Jack Donaghy’s
life coach which was utterly
hilarious. However, as gifted as
she is at comedy her performance
in ‘Fluff’ is enchanting and does
not rely on her comedic
sensibility, instead we see an truly
touching interpretation of
Whitsfield’ script, which anchors
the film and gives it real heart
without ever being sentimental.
Overall stand-up comics seem to
be breaking through and we are
beginning to see just what they
can do.
Whitsfield has also turned a
corner; his anchoring
performance (which he has also
produced) has ensured the film’s
narrative never flags.
The short, just over five minutes,
is shot on entirely on location
which has now become a
hallmark of a Whitsfield film.
‘There is so much more life on a
real street, I need that energy to
imbue my film.
IF YOU ARE EXPECTING to see
‘Crazy Love’, Part 2, then ‘Fluff’ is
going to be a big disappointment.
Whitsfield has succeeded in throwing
off the Rom-Com slush and delivered
Good performance too from
Robbie Judkins, a memorable and
uplifting performance in his part as
the mystic.
Whitsfield is well within his
comfort zone, being no stranger
to playing the almost comical
looser. Such familiar elements
aside Whitsfield is authentic.
When I stopped by his offices last
week, I was surprised when he
told me that the film was inspired
by a true life episode, ‘I believe
that being so intimately connected
to the story gave me a better
grasp of my character.’ How did
you find directing? ‘I have to
admit working on both sides of
the camera has it’s problems,
but I’d do it again.’
VERDICT Marra’s role is
shamefully underwritten
(especially for an actress capable
of carrying a franchise), but Fluff
is a indie cut above your average
boy meets girl with a lovely
experimental-chaos vibe.

Fluff
FILMSOFTHEMONTH
United Kingdom 2013
Reviewed by Clyde Sadian
Director: Sebastian Whitsfield
Our very own ‘Blue Valentine’
There’s a scene in Sebastian Whitfield’s film in
which Noah, a distressed teen finds solace in the
southerly winds beautifully depicted both visually
and digectically.
This is a little charmer of a film which stays with
you long after you have left the cinema. The
simple narrative allows the story to roll a long but
underneath all is simmering. The love interest,
Philly Marra is pitch perfect, showing just how
wide this still young actress is. As for Whitsfield I
was pleased to see his move away from ‘Crazy
Love‘ two dimensionality into a far deeper and
funnier character study. Spoiler Alert! Robbie
Judkins plays the mystic and as always brings his
own familiar quirkiness to the part.
The second film from Whitsfield is inclined to this
sort of symbolism in a way that his last, Crazy Love
(2012), was not.

Philly Mara,

Whitsfield
It’s an eloquent love story soft but
funny without ever being formulaic. It
is truth that wins, and plays out so
absorbing.
With ‘Fluff’ Whitsfield moves on to vastly
different territory. An expansive and many
textured love story, shot on location in
London the film explores moments.
