Feline Reincarnate 1976

A pilot episode intended to be produced for TV screening, this is the third film in the 'Other Realms' series. The 'Other Realms' episodes are tales of strange happenings where the bizarre becomes commonplace, melding atmospheric soundtracks, a mix of live-action and stop-motion animation, and sophisticated editing techniques. Filmmaker and animator Jon Coley was just 17 years of age when he directed, edited, animated, and starred in this production.

Shadowman 2001

Animator and filmmaker Jon Coley’s eighth film completes the ‘Other Realms’ series intended for television screening. Coley enlists the help of friend and professional model Janine Ashton who takes the lead role alongside Coley’s predatory stop-motion ‘Shadowman’ figure, inspired by the Count Orlok character in the 1922 silent horror movie Nosferatu. The live action was shot in 1994 on location at Harleston's Masonic Rooms (The Old Mineral Works), produced as part of another film, which sadly had to be abandoned due to financial limitations. Almost ten years later, in 2001, Coley created the animated figure and reworked his footage, also adding a soundtrack to create this episode.
