SURPRISING EDNA By Tony Cane-Honeysett - A comedy short starring my mum, who'd always wanted to act.

Фильм және анимация

My mum always wished she’d been an actress, so I wrote this short comedy for her as the main character. We filmed it one rainy night in London in 2010. She was 81 years old and recovering from a stroke, which had left her partially disabled but she gave it her best shot, though she tended to ignore the script and ad-libbed her lines, which confused the other two actors, played by my brother and nephew. #comedyshort #amateuracting #marycanehoneysett #painting #arttheft #London #funny #disabled #familyfilm #actingdebut #senioractress #artheist #funnyfilm #britishcomedy #actingaudition #Fulham #Londonlife #comedic acting #voxbox @MaryCaneHoneysett

I draw and paint myself, but never really thought of myself as an artist. I, like her, paint for myself, not what's "hot" at the moment. I appreciate realistic art, the details in it. She was SO talented. I wanted her to show in the art show so bad. ♥

    Ah this is brilliant. Your mum was a natural. I think she would have been a great actress. Her art is fantastic. I like all the details and I like that she captured parts of London that some of us may not have seen. I love how Her work captures real life and how the buildings were before the changes. I love the peeling paint and the broken masonry in some of her pieces. It is important history. Her work needs to be kept Safe and cherished forever. Thanks for sharing.
