The Glow
"The Glow", a short cinema film directed by Marcus Dillistone and starring Bradley Walsh,
John Quentin, Natalie Ogle and introducing Jack Blumenau.
"The Glow" is about Mr Swann, an eccentric gentleman of considerable independent means, who collects
light bulbs. He has every type there is, except one, which has evaded him all his life. The story unfolds
when a young boy (David) finds the ultra rare '1879 Edison Laboratory bulb' for sale on the Internet!
Three weeks pass. David collects the bulb from the parcels' depot, and takes it, via aged funicular
railway, traditional fishing beach, and 1930's covered promenade, to the old man's sprawling cliff-top
mansion, where a surprise awaits him in the form of Mr. Swann's manic Butler. The film culminates in
Mr. Swann's study, where the eccentric gent eagerly awaits the defining moment of his lamp-driven
life...
