Painting a magical portrait of the London Underground this delightful film
is one of the best we've ever made. It follows the adventures of a man named
Russell Square as he travels through the monochrome world of the Gap with only
an Angel to guide him.

has been screened in Film Festivals across the world including, Dresden (2004),
York (2001), Leeds Independent (2001), Wood Green (2003) and a tour of Papua
New Guinea (2002). It has been distributed on cable tv and also on the internet
via Reelscreen.com and Virtuetv.com.
"...A very nice little film...anyone who has travelled
the underground will recognise the world you portray..."
- Robert Elms, BBC Radio London.
"...A really lovely...orginal piece that is genuinely
uplifting..."
- Stevie Lee, Contagious Films.
"...It's very funny and strangely moving, with
some lovely details..."
-Pippa Best, Zephyr Films.
"...The Blaine's depiction of a nightmare world in the corridors of the
empty tube network is noteworthy..."
- Laurence Gornall
"...The quick-cut randomness of the editing was
a strong point, giving the film a unique style. Actress Jo Harper puts in a
good turn as the angel..."
- Evan Richards
"...Very Impressive, I know shooting in stations
can be horrendous, but your continuity worked well within the narrative..."
-Andrew Mula
"...just watched Russell Square over on virtuetv
website and wanted to say, f***ing brilliant. love dit."
- Keyman
