Good movie, I enjoyed it however some inaccuracies such as the helmet wouldn’t have A.R.P. stencilled on it, you’d have W stencilled on it which stands for Warden and the helmet would be black. Also there is no such thing as W / Warden armband, it would say Civil Defence on it instead and you should always be carrying your General Service Respirator MK4, which clearly you’re not. Great movie however I expect you should do more research in the future before making a movie. Kind Regards, Tom.
Thanks for your comment and kind words. It is good to remember that this was a student film - although as such aiming as high as possible! In regard to the helmet etc actually there were regional variations on this and while helmets with "W" were the most common there were indeed some helmets with "A.R.P." The costume was provided by a reputable military costume house who also advised on various aspects of the film, so these were conscious decisions rather than simply a 'lack of research' as you suggest.
Very cool I like it
Great filming, cut and dialog! Thank you for the short film. You should do an entire one
Thank you, we appreciate the kind words :)
I remember acting in this as Tom, the small boy, was good fun and my family still say “do they have red ones”
Hello Brinley - so good to hear from you after all these years and so glad you have fond memories from this shoot! :)
My Grandfather was an ARP Warden. He was posted in Kolkata.
Excellent, well made. Really enjoyed it

Indeed but yet again, the W armband is wrong and you aren’t carrying your GSR MK4 which you should have been.
Kind Regards,
