Here are some quotes from the North American test screening.  Thanks so much to everyone who attended, your feedback was appreciated and we've already used it to make the final film better.

“A tremendous achievement.”

"Brought me to tears."

"Like a combination of 'Momento' and 'The Shawshank Redemption'."

“Rive...

Helping talent

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 08:36:11 > General

We're looking at developing a slate of films which we can help push into distribution through the relationships we're forging with sales agents and distributors.  We've done hundreds of hours of ground work and negotiating which can help other emerging film makers get their films into release. 

There's no timescales on thi...

Facebook

Thu, 18 Mar 2010 12:58:25 > General

We've set up a Facebook page as another way to engage with everyone and start spreading the word about the film.  The more fans we can get the better (I think it's sitting at twenty one as I write this, not that impressive).  It helps us as we are heading through the long process of talking to distributors.  So please, if you'r...

Cannes

Wed, 17 Mar 2010 08:31:25 > General

We've applied for the Cannes Independent Film Festival which is in Cannes in May.  They had a under £25K budget category that was perfect for us.  We should hear about whether we're in or not sometime in April.  It could be some good exposure for us with sales agents and distributors and other industry people who are there attendi...

The Poster

The poster is done.  It looks great.  We'll work on getting it up here on the site shortly.  Neil Richards designed it and he's done a fantastic job bringing together a our key Ryan/William confrontation image (photographed by Dan Regan) fused with the hand written letter elements.&nbs...

Test screening

So the blog's been a bit dead recently . . . and I promised that that wouldn't happen, but things have been a bit crazy (in a good way), so to make a long story short it's alive again and I'm sure not too many people lost sleep over it's absence anyway.

We've got a test screening of the film coming up on Saturday August 22nd at the Odeo...

Monsters and rough cuts

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 03:20:28 > General

Okay, so we've not been great at keeping the blog fully alive and kicking, but at least it is twitching like Frankenstein's Monster before the serious voltage hits.  Speaking of Frankenstein's Monster, we have our first rough cut of the film together which runs to 103 minutes.  It moves well, the story holds together and all of our ...

A Year On

Mon, 04 May 2009 11:21:14 > General

A year ago yesterday we had our first day of principle photography.  It was like all first days on long shoots - fraught with awkwardness, shifting schedules and lots of shots that'll never see the light of day.  Just your basic teething pains that you need to go through to get a flow going.  I'm sure there were a few people th...

On the radar

I know I've said it before, but it's worth mentioning it again . . . this is where the distributors, sales agents ...

The blog's alive

Fri, 13 Feb 2009 08:49:13 > General

So my new year's resolution was to make sure people were kept in the loop a bit more and, sadly, like most stupid ideas thought up during the Christmas period, this hasn't really happened.  As a result of this I am committed to keeping this blog up to date.  There have been close to a hundred people involved with the film so fa...

First Entry

Saturday 29th Dec 2007 > General

Simon has just finished rewriting the final script and it's reading extremely well. There are a few new scenes thrown in and a big new character point.

With the website up and running we're gonna start casting early in the new year. We'll be focusing mainly on local talent but also contacting actors that respond...
