| The Andy Bertaut Page Hi there, and welcome to the Andy Bertaut Page, or, as we here at CherryPie Productions like to call it the, eh...Andy Bertaut Page, sorry. On this page you will find sordid tales of sex, mutilation, depravity, humiliation and torture (and there'll be some stuff about Andy too), not to mention details on how to make the perfect CherryPie...(film, the perfect CherryPie film). Anyway, enough of that and more of this. Here we go... Unlike the adorable (but somewhat smelly) Stephen, Andy was NOT born in Scotland on July 26, 1978, in Forres, a small town in Inverness, to an RAF fireman father (Ben) and a housewife mother (Ann), becuase if he was that would just make things confusing (not to mention a little weird, seeing as how Ann is his sister). He was in fact born in Dublin and there still resides. There is a rumour circulating somewhere that he is pushing (or has already pushed as far as it will go) thirty, but, he maintains, in an air of alcohol induced sincerity, that this is only a nasty, vicious lie, spread by his enemies for purposes of discrediting him. But seriously... He has been a guitar player since he was an adorable (but somewhat smelly) eighteen years of age, and was (and always will be) a Telecaster player. He writes his own songs for his band, Tusk, and has been involved in various other music projects over the years. These include scoring Admonition, the debut CherryPie Productions film, which he also appeared in and co-edited with Stephen. This whole experience proved to be totally new to the boy moderately wonderful as he had never had to compose music for anything other than his own amusement (which he also fulfills by chewing his toe nails). The music evolved over time, with Andy playing various drafts of his ideas for Stephen, coinciding with the actual filming of the movie, until the pieces were finished and finally added to the film itself. To everyone's surprise, and none were more surprised than Andy himself, the music seemed to greatly enhance the entire piece, giving the scenes extra pace and, in particular, extra tension. Andy also scored and co-edited Cassandra, the troubled five years in the making project completed in the summer of 2003. Although it only featureed two pieces of actual music, Andy also worked on the sound effects and ADR for the film, and all in all had overall responsibility for the sound of the move. Strangley, due to the nature of the film's narrative, when Andy completed his opening score, Stephen asked him to literally play it backwards, upon doing so they heard messages of sex, depravity, humiliation, and corn flakes, but they also preferred the reversed piece of music, and, as such, the music in the movie, with the weird chords that accompany the fade in, is actually the score played in reverse. Indeed the correctly played music was never used in the film at all. He has ventured into acting several times (including CherryPie Productions' films The Gates of Paradise, The Verisimilitude of All Literary Endeavours and Cassandra) finding he likes the work marginally more than it like him (although all the of crews and his fellow actors usually hate his guts, mainly because he looks like a crocodile being castrated, or is that he sounds like one...ah well, who knows). He is currently working on a concept album, an epic sci fi/ horror novel about evil and redemptiopn called Across The Worlds (which he actually started writing in the womb) and a collection of interconnected short stories. He also wrote the screenplay The Last Man to be filmed by CherryPie Productions at some stage in the future. He thinks tattoos are cool!!! Back to home |
