Indirectly, this has to do with Blak Yak and their splendid performances over the years of Terry Pratchett's Discworld works. The link below takes you to Luna' Camelot outdoor theatre, and the Flickerfest film festival's short works.

One of these short works is Troll Bridge, a labour of love short film made by Pratchett fans with Sir Terry's blessings.

The Director states:

"A WORD ON OUR PERTH SCREENING

OMGOMGOMG!
Lemme tell you a story…
In the late 90s I joined the Perth based Blak Yak Theatre, and one of the first shows I got involved with was the Stephen Briggs adaptation of MORT. I had never picked up Terry Pratchett before that point because it all sounded a bit silly. I had no idea. The script was amazing and that was pretty much the start of a very long and strange obsession. I’m very proud to have been involved with five of their Discworld shows. I am in great debt to Jarrod Buttery and the support and encouragement I received from the entire Blak Yak family… without whom there wouldn’t be any of this at all – not a film version of TROLL BRIDGE – not even this film company, I would have traversed down a completely different fork in the Trousers of Time. I fell in love with Terry there, I fell in love with directing there.

Anyway.

TROLL BRIDGE plays in Perth the Saturday after this (March 2) at the gorgeous Camelot: Outdoor Cinema in Mosman Park. I can’t go, I can’t make the finances work. But if you live in Perth, I hope you can make it on my behalf. And if you lived in Perth in the late 90s and saw a production of WYRD SISTERS or SOURCERY, you’ve seen my stuff before. It was with the best theatre company I know of.

Daniel"
