SYNOPSIS

Undertaken before he settled in Ravenswood, Dominic (Marq English) embarked on a voyage of discovery to discover the
planet's ley-lines and paranormal mysteries...with this leading to his interest in UFO's and the notorious Area 51!

Dominic met some colourful characters on the way such as New York waitress Monica Jameson (Karla Mikenna), the mysterious
Mr Moffatt (Mark Bennett) and the even stranger 'Man with no Name' (George Murphy).

During his expedition, Dominic travelled to Germany, France and Australia before ending up in the USA. It was here that he dowsed a famous Los Angeles ley-line before entering the Nevada desert in search of Area 51.


BACKGROUND

A trip to Los Angeles in mid-April was an opportunity not to be wasted. It was here that Karla Mikenna (Amber Chakra) and myself (as Dominic Clay) filmed inserts of Dom’s dowsing tour of the world. These sequences will be used as home video footage that’s inserted into the main feature of ‘Return to Ravenswood’. We are also using this material to make a teaser short film called ‘World Video Dowsing Tour with Dominic Clay’, this will be included on the two-disc DVD of ‘Return to Ravenswood’. 
Karla doubled up playing another character called Monica Jameson, a waitress from New York who accompanies Dom on his US travels. MEV regular George Murphy is living in Vancouver for a year so I had to take advantage of his trip to LA, having him essaying the mysterious ‘Man with no Name’. Mark Bennett (Rev John Magister) also played another part as the decidedly 
odd Mr Moffatt. 
For a short film, I think we proberly covered more locations than ever before. We encompassed London, Surrey and Kent in the UK, Bremen and Minden in Germany and Los Angeles (including Hollywood), Santa Monica, Malibu Beach, Las Vegas and the Nevada Desert in the United States...now let's check my overdraft!
