Premise

Blink is a vigilante with the power of teleportation, however each time this power is used, it slowly kills him. This encourages Blink to find a replacement for himself to take over his work when he's gone. He finds this person in Vee Shapel, a young girl who unfortunately doesn't see eye to eye with Blink leading to a battle between the two.

Release

Blink was released in a film festival in the United Kingdom known as the Boston Film Festival. Blink was played along side films by Director Keegan Nuttell-Cartwright and TikTok star Benjamin Tiffin. The film festival took place in a town called Boston and premiered on June 14th 2024. Although awards were presented at the festival, Blink did not receive any.

Future

With Blink being in a film festival it had a limited run time, meaning there is a lot of scrapped content for the short. Sophie Thompson and High Treason plan to expand the Blink universe with a short running series to flesh out characters and fully develop a story.

Mitch Corrado

Mitchel David Ben Corrado (born January 5th 2006) is a British actor and musician who is known for staring in High treason productions. He also performs as lead singer and bassist of the British indie band X-AM. He studied at Boston college in performing arts where he would put on shows and acts such as Aladdin.

Early Life

Mitch grew up in Boston, Lincolnshire in a family of 4. He is the youngest of 2 siblings, having 1 older sister.

He was first educated at Swineshead St. Mary's Primary school where he would get his first acting experience being a gang member in a play of Bugsy Malone. After leaving, Mitch would attend Cowley Academy (formerly The Thomas Cowley High School) and take performing arts as one of his subjects to help him move onto the Boston College performing arts course. At this college he would put on shows such as Aladdin and Shake, however, despite being at a college for performing arts, the department primarily focused on theatre while Mitch wanted to be an on screen actor. This lead to Mitch perusing small on screen roles which he found with the studio "High Treason".

Acting Roles

Mitch has starred in 2 High Treason films where he secured a leading role in both instances.

In 2023 Mitch play Dylan in the film Hunters. He also made another appearance in the same movie as a wendigo.

In 2024 Mitch had his biggest role yet, playing the character Blink in a movie of the same name. Blink would go off to be shown in a UK theatre as part of an independent film festival giving Mitch his first appearance on the big screen. In the future Blink is planned to come back as a series where Mitch will reprise his role as the villainous character.

Music

In late 2023 Mitch founded the British indie band X-AM along side fellow band members: Caiden Bent and Junior Benjamin.

While any full releases haven't happened yet, the band has teased multiple songs, most notably their son "Frankenstein" with a full instrumental available to hear on websites such as YouTube and SoundCloud.

Personal Life

Not a lot is known about Mitch's personal life other then what is shown on his social medias. From this it can be seen he is heavily interested in art and music.
