Filming is well underway for Briefest Encounters and we began with a very special interview. đź’ś


We met with Anthony Pratt - who is Brief Encounter actor Cyril Raymond’s nephew.


Anthony was close to Cyril, whose second marriage was to his aunt, actor Gillian Lind. As well as his moving recollections, he also shared an incredible collection of photos and archives - including Cyril’s original Brief Encounter shooting script. 📽️


“He was a lovely man - very calm, very quiet, very composed. A gentleman. Very funny too.”


Anthony’s moving memories capture the essence of Cyril’s character in a way no archive ever could - revealing the man behind the actor and the quiet dignity that defined both his life and his performances.


✨ We’re so grateful to Anthony for sharing his stories and memories.


Take a look at some behind-the-scenes footage below, with a snippet of Anthony’s reflections that will feature in our documentary. 🎬



Please keep sharing our campaign and help us to make this film a reality.



Thank you for your support.
