About
Joshua Thomas was a final-year film-making student and film director at Birmingham City University, with whom I had the pleasure of collaborating on his short comedy film entitled Turned On. This film follows the story of a young man who awakens one day to discover that he becomes sexually aroused whenever someone toggles a light switch on or off. When he pitched the plot to me, I thought: “This is the most ridiculous, wacky and nonsensical plot I’ve ever heard; I’m in!” This work demonstrates that music does not have to be serious all the time, and has the potential to make others laugh.
