The Pisces journey began in early 2006, when long-time creative collaborators Marisa Brown and Trevor Matthews decided to make the move from theatrical projects into the world of film.
However, the project was plagued with dramas - key props were undelivered, schedules and crew went awry, hard drives exploded time and time again, the final footage was filled with sound and exposure issues, and there was a mystifying lack of cutaways. The project hit a brick wall, and was abandoned.
Time passed. Things changed. Technology advanced. Marisa started work on a new film and Trevor threatened to publicly beat her to death if this new venture was finished before 'Pisces'.
And so, with the renewed vigour that comes when one's life is at stake (accompanied by stalwart support from various technical geniuses), 'Pisces, Arise!' was dragged kicking and screaming into 2009. Perhaps, like the fried fish in this tale, the film would have been better off left for dead; lost, for all time, in a void of darkness.
But then again... who are we, as mere motals, to decide what is right and what is against the will of Man and Nature?
We hope you like the film.
