John wishes to confess, but only if it won’t make her think ill of him for lying. Passionately, she answers that all she wants is him alive. He agrees Tituba's confession breaks Betty’s spell. As Abigail envies the attention being given to Tituba, to confess to witchcraft. she repents her own compact with the Devil and is asked to call out others of the Devil's crew.

  • Knifepoint Is a Story I Felt I Must Tell; It Revolves Around the Prevalent Use of Bladed Weapons in UK Violent Crime
    Two fates, differing outcomes, one fateful decision, a life hangs in the balance as a knife wielding young man is confronted by two strangers on his way home from work. Directors Vision The ephemeral nature of filmmaking has always fascinated me, I only take on projects I am truly attached to on an emotional level. Knifepoint is a story I felt I must tell; it revolves around the prevalent use of bladed weapons in UK violent crime. knife crime in the UK has soared to the highest level on record. As the issue of knife crime has continued to be prevalent in UK society for so long, the use of bladed weapons in major incidents of violence has continued to be an underlining factor failing to be addressed by most law enforcement and governmental initiatives. This factor continues to transcend age, race, status and even geographical location, as England, Scotland and Wales see incremental rises in cases. 24 children aged just 17 or younger were murdered with a knife or sharp object in 2019 alone. This represents the highest number of children murdered in over a decade. Currently knife crime has become an issue that has permeated across so many institutions, society is virtually desensitised to its existence. News articles and stories across regions such as London, the Midlands and beyond are consistent but almost expected. The continued model of awareness and education seeks to help stem the tide of this issue and my hope is that this short film will help further lay bare the realities and outcomes of endangering the lives of yourself and others when wielding or carrying a knife or bladed weapon.
