The film was made on a budget of less than £1,000. Nevertheless, the essential point is to allow the viewer a glimpse into life in Palestine and the horrors of the occupation which has continued since 1967 or to be more precise since 1948. In this manner it is freeform and permits the viewer to draw his own conclusions.

How to tell a story with disparate elements. It never attempts to use conventional continuity rather it takes what it considers to be appropriate according to a dramatic narrative collage. The film is a collage with footage taken in the streets of Nablus, the village of Poggioni in Tuscany, 3D animation, live action in the studio and found documentary footage. Its message is “This is what it’s like.” I speak as one who has witnessed the many humiliations heaped upon the people of that delightful land. It can be seen as a sketchbook filled with drawings made at first hand on the streets of Palestine. It does not see itself as a propagandist work. The film does not attempt to preach from a pulpit. In turn this production provides another layer the Palestinian’s struggle with their oppressors the state of Israel, illegal settlements and Israeli extremists. In the case of Edgar Allan Poe’s original, it can be seen in the tale of Ethelred against the Dragon which is echoed in the conflict between Roderick Usher and his sister Madeline. It reflects the conflict between Semite and Semite. The film “The Fall of the House of Usher” is a story within a story within a story. ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ is set in Palestine and features the Palestinian actress Riham Isaaq as Madeline Usher and introduces Alex Macbeth from the UK as Roderick Usher. In 2016 his Virtual Reality work ‘APES’ was shown at the Cannes film festival and at the Animaze festival in Montreal. It is endorsed by the Escher Museum of that city. APES is curated by Tom van Vliet of the WWVF and made in collaboration with the Vrije Academie in Den Haag.
