Turning to psychics in changing times
January 28th, 2011
With the New Year often comes an evaluation of the past and resolutions for the future. Some turn to mediums for clarity, insight and reassurance, with the popularity of psychics and clairvoyants continuing to grow around the world.
Is this a reflection of the unsettling and changing times in which we live?

Peter Edgerton Musician, writer, filmmaker – ‘Un paso por delante’ short film
December 31st, 2010
‘Un paso por delante’ is an 18 minute ‘cortometraje’ or short film that has been screened at Malaga’s Albéniz cinema and is about to be released on DVD with English subtitles. The film, ‘One step ahead’, has been a recent labour of love for the British born Malaga resident who is better known to many as a singer and musician. As well as directing the piece, Peter also wrote the poignant script. “It’s my first short film script but I’m always playing about with words in some form or other” smiles Peter. The film tells the story of Pablo a widower and his seven year old daughter Lucía who misses her mother. Pablo encourages his daughter to communicate with her mother by sending ‘magic balloons’ carrying coded messages that no one except her mother can decipher. “By chance, one of these messages will change the life of Pablo” Edgerton explains. “It is a love story with a positive ending.” Indeed, leaving the cinema after the magical 18 minutes, one realises how this short story of a young girl shows us that sometimes in adulthood we lose sight of the importance of being open-minded, and in life we need to be a little more fearless.
