The
Isle of Glass by Terry Flaxton with Robin Brooks
The Isle of Glass is a fiction idea which has the potential to crossover
into almost any digital form: feature film, TV series, computer game,
book…
Using the innovative structural conceit of telling stories in which the
narrators are also the chief protagonists, we can take the audience to
any period, past or future, to any world, imagined or real.
Terry Gilliam says: "The Isle of Glass reads wonderfully...
I don't think there is any greater experience than letting go, giving
up one's power of choice and control, and allowing yourself to be swept
away by a great story. The Isle of Glass could easily perform that kind
of magic. The battle of eternal story tellers, the interlinking of stories,
and the interchangeability of characters is just the kind of richness
of perception that we desperately need to bring back to the cinema.”
Howard Schuman says: "I like the sound of The Isle
of Glass enormously... Just reading the outline gave me great pleasure
because it's so original in structure as well as being an extremely clever,
practical way to conceive a film. And, of course, the visual possibilities
are boundless. The Isle of Glass is unusually promising both artistically
and as a film people around the world will want to see... Altogether The
Isle of Glass strikes me as one of the most exciting new projects that
have come to my attention".
