Annibale Migliucci (Giacobbe), Daniel Felkai (Horace) and Wendy Playfair (Mrs Wilson-Smith) production still
Daniel Felkai (Horace) - hard at work at Solomon and Solomon's

Screengrabs

Horace's home is not the calmest place on earth, what with his dad, Giacobbe, feigning illness and mule-headed obstinacy, and their neighbour, Mrs Wilson-Smith, popping at at the most inopportune times...
Horace's work life isn't much better. He and Andrea vie for Victoria's favours while Spit does what he can to make a quick buck on the sly...

Behind the scenes

A huge thank you to the crew for their talent and dedication to working well into the early hours of the morning on a wet and miserable winter's weekend.

Will Kuether - Director

A fantastic young man with fantastic energy and insight. I met him through the Australian Writers' Guild many years ago and we have done several projects together, most notably "Shopping" with our mutual friend and writer, Peter A. Cross. Will, with Melissa Azzizi, have their own production company, Cinedream, and have a number of outstanding and award-winning shorts to their credit. Fantastic!

Broderick Aitken - the Crew who did everything!

Logo and Locations

And last, but certainly not least, a heap of gratitude to Paul and Margaret Bonaretti, together with Kathryn Bonaretti, of Sign Kingdom for designing the House of Horace logo and for printing the large Solomon and Solomon posters and Credo and for allowing us to use their offices to shoot the office scenes.
Another load of gratitude goes to Mr Mick White for allowing us to use his home to shoot the dinner scenes. Everyone was generous and unstinting in their assistance.

...and finally, the Clips

Sincere and heartfelt thanks to Will Kuether for putting these clips together in record time. He is a true gentleman and artist.
