Nick had rather a lot of bad luck and Carney became his short film debuting producer with ‘Pooka’. Nick said, "I need a cave". Carney said,  "I’ve got a cave for you". Cast and crew came up to Buxton and carried a massive generator in slippy shoes down a place called Deep Dale. Like most things North of Watford, the clue is in the name regarding its accessibility.
