The brand new DC Fontana short film 'Six Against Eight' which has been produced to promote the group's debut album of the same name, out August 6, 2010. Follow the link: http://dcfontana.com/home/?p=682
The movie lasts eight & and a half minutes and is produced and directed by Martin Copland-Gray and was shot by Anotherschmuck of London.It stars DC Fontana lead singer Karla Milton & the rest of the group together with actors Tom Rees (Six), Nathan Morris (Eight), Richard Taylor (Benny the barman), Suzy Breda-Hill (the waitress), Seth Bell (the croupier) and members of the Six Of One Prisoner Appreciation Society. Shot on location in Portmeirion, near Penrhyndeudraeth in north Wales & at Bolehall Manor in Tamworth, this mini-movie is a heady mixture of dark & light, probing surrealism while heartily doffing the DC cap to the 60s TV spy genre.
DC Fontana are very grateful for the kindness and assistance of Mr Robin Llewellyn of Portmeirion and Mr Rob Beale and the good people of Six Of One.
QUOTE:
'Six Against Eight' is a beautiful & living evocation of the group's 'art & soul' creed and is an idiosyncratic slice of illusory eye candy to decorate your mind's eye.

Bond: "Was it a Vespa or a Lambretta?"
Kerim: "You noticed? A Lambretta. They have a whole fleet of them for their little men, the men I call "The Faceless Ones". They look so alike, we have never managed to sort them out."From Russia With Love
