Actress Sarah-Jane Potts debuts her short ‘The Magician’ at Romford Film Festival

Award winning actress Sarah-Jane Potts (Kinky Boots, Wonderland, My Son The Fanatic, Holby City, Waterloo Road, The Teacher), is set to unveil her new short, The Magician, her first as writer/director when the film has it’s World Premiere on 20th May 2022 at the Romford Film Festival.

The Magician is a short film written and directed by Sarah-Jane Potts who co-stars in the film alongside her long time Holby City ally Bob Barrett (Shakespeare In Love, Holby City). The film, which was produced by Sarah-Jane’s husband, actor Joseph Millson (Casino Royale, Angel Has Fallen, MoonKnight, 24-Live Another Day), is an uplifting story about an unexpected encounter that saves one woman’s life. Writer/director Sarah-Jane Potts says:

Tennessee Williams said, ‘The world is violent and mercurial, it will have it’s way with you. We are saved only by love.’ For me, there is no love without connection, and there is no connection without kindness. This film is my ode to kindness, and kindness is magic.

Sarah-Jane, Bob Barrett and Joseph Millson will be in attendance on the 20th May at the Premiere Cinema in the Mercury Shopping Centre, alongside other well known actors and stars.

Anyone who wants to come and see the magic for themselves, and meet the cast, can buy tickets (which includes admission to a whole day of screenings etc) from the festival website.
