Ellie Medlock

a new short film from the producers of Magenta House

SUFFICIENT SIDE EFFECTS is the definitive behind the scenes look at the making of Magenta House using extensive behind the scenes footage shot during the production of the film and interviews with most of the crew and some of the cast. It’s a unique opportunity to showcase the creation of fully independent student film which we had full control over. The good, the bad and the ugly side of film making is on full display going through all the ups and downs of such a production and hearing from those who created it both pre and post filming and right up to the film’s premiere at the Horror On Sea Film Festival.

Many would tell you that Magenta House is the pinnacle of progression: wonder drug medications, humane living conditions and frequent, compassionate therapy sessions... but something darker exists beneath the surface. When five patients escape from the experimental health facility, all will take wildly different approaches to their brief reintroduction to society. But one thing is for certain - The cats out the bag now, and nothing will ever be the same...
