'HUNTED' - Short Film (Starring Mark Speight, Deborah Bouchard)

HUNTED Short Film (Starring: Mark Speight, Deborah Bouchard). This is a short film I worked on around 12 years ago. (So please excuse some of the dated MIDI sounds and programming). I had just graduated from university and was extremely grateful to Chris TJ Mcguire and Howard J Smith for the opportunity to work on such a great short film. MARK SPEIGHT: TV presenter Mark Speight hung himself in a partially disused part of Paddington railway station. His body was possibly undiscovered for nearly a week. Speight's body was found in Macmillan House, an office block, located in an area of the station rarely visited by staff. He was found hanging from the roof by office workers as they arrived one morning. The 42-year-old was last seen at Queen's Park Tube Station in north west London - four stops from Paddington. His disappearance took place in the aftermath of the inquest into the death of his fiancee Natasha Collins, 31. She was found dead in the bath with 60 per cent burns after taking sleeping tablets and cocaine. Speight was arrested on suspicion of murder and supplying Class A drugs; no charges were brought. Colleagues and family members paid tribute to Speight who they said had been left overwhelmed by the death of Miss Natasha Collins. His property developer father said: "Mark was a wonderful son and brother to his family and he will be very sadly missed." Kirsten O'Brien, co-presented SMart with Mark Speight since 1999. She said that Speight was "without doubt the funniest man I've ever known. Filming days were a joy as Mark would often have the crew and I doubled up with laughter and I think that showed on screen." Investigators have been examining CCTV footage from the busy mainline and Tube station where he was found. Speight told police the couple had been "partying" and had taken cocaine and sleeping pills as well as drinking wine and vodka.
