Pagan Author to Produce Fantasy Film
Denise Channing, who under the pen name of Jaq D Hawkins has written several books on Chaos Magic and other esoteric subjects, is producing a film in England based on her first fantasy novel “Dance of the Goblins”.
Denise Channing aka Jaq D Hawkins
“The 50-year-old from Norwich, whose pen name is Jaq D Hawkins, has begun work on turning her debut novel, Dance of the Goblins, into a feature-length film. So confident is she of the book’s impending success, she has set up her own production company, Goblin Films, and has already snapped up British actor Kevin McNally, star of Hollywood blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean, in the leading role. It is hoped other stars will soon follow and with the film being shot in both Norwich and London, Denise is looking to source local talent as well.”
If Channing manages to get the necessary funding, this could be a big step in Pagan-produced films. Outside of underground film-maker and adherent to Thelema Kenneth Anger (who just saw his early film works re-released as a deluxe DVD set), there hasn’t to my knowledge been a film (outside of small documentaries) helmed and guided by an openly modern Pagan. Could Denise Channing become the Gwydion Pendderwen of Pagan film?
