SpineFilm is a micro‐studio that produced a series of short films in 2016. The most successful of these was:
The Devil's Command
An underdog story about courage, resolve, and self‐sacrifice. It was accepted into six festivals, reaching a semi‐final, and receiving one award. It is a supernatural thriller that was shot with two Mini-DV camcorders and (shocker) without a budget.

get a production credit
A feature length script is complete. Anyone interested in being cast or securing a production credit on the project can apply now. Enthusiasm is more important than experience. For casting please use Backstage. There is no budget. The £390 raised was applied to equipment purchases. Negotiations for a location are underway, but any help with one would be welcome: two rooms connected by a corridor is a priority. A bare office setting with 80s or 90s decor would be ideal. We received a kind donation of the wardrobe requirement for a monastic robe ‐ thank you Ian.
selective information
The drama is based on controversial events from Britain's recent past, researched over the last two years. The script is therefore mainly dialogue based on conversations and transcripts. Multimedia packs to assist with character development will be available to actors after casting. There will be questions designed to help actors build back stories in preparation for their roles. Auditions may be be held via Teams or Zoom. To be notified about developments join the mailing list or consult The Spinal Column blog. The basic specifications are:
