Under the Radar

Film and Theatre Star Mike Edmunds had one thing which drove him on to better things than working in a factory – his size.  Essentially he is a little person – never grew to full neight despite his parentage but he made a decision after answering an ad which he kept and framed to star in creative productions using his restricted height as a positive asset and charmed people around him wherever he went in the process.

He’s still around so look out for him.  On the circuit at trade fairs where Star Wars and similar features are the order of the day he gives autographs and meets his fans whom he says know more about the films than he himself does!  Mike has also been in The Bandits and The Dark Crystal and a myriad of other productions including plays almost specially written around him!

Lots of footage in the film covers Mike in various costumes and roles – he has definitely never been at a loss for films and shows including panto (and no not just Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs) to appear in.

Mike and Colin Firth are friends and there is footage of Firth talking about their enjoyable experiences working on projects together.  Other stars Mike has worked with and who discuss him on this entertaining footage include Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin, Robert Watts, Danny John Jules, Jeremy Bulloch, Mark Bellingham, David Bell, Jimmy Vee, Sue Hodge, Vin Burnham, Kevin Thompson, Paul Elliott, Arti Shah, Day Murch, and Simon J Williamson,

Directed and Produced  by Simon J Firth, Also produced by Grant Philpott, Jim Cogan, and David Freedman.  Director of Photography – Peter Curtis, animation Director, Grant Philpott, music Lee Kavanagh, Sound Design, Louis Gaston.www.redstablefilms.com
