DEVON REED - the bigtop DVDThe film is about Vincent O'Malley, who runs away with the circus and essentially becomes a monster in his quest for power. I hate writing dialog but love writing songs, thus it became a musical. We wrote and performed some of the songs months before writing the screenplay, while others were written later, when we knew we were going to be making a circus film. Falling in Love and The Girl Who's Above Us were the most circus specific songs. 1. Magic
