These are just a few of the people, organisations and companies that have contributed time, money and resources to the film. Without these people there would be no film. We are greatly indebted and this is a tiny tiny tiny way of saying thanks.
LEA STORES
Based in Lea, just outside Ross-On-Wye, Herefordshire, they have provided all the food for our twenty days of filming for free. This is the biggest single expense we incurred and if you can't feed a film crew, you don't have a film crew. Simple as that. So a huge thank you for that and also for letting us invade your premises and use them as a base for a day.
JENNY AND MIKE WESTLEY
Have provided financial support, the use of their house as a base for filming and as a location, linked us up with contacts for other key locations, provided much needed childcare, cooked fantastic vegetable soup and cakes and even been coerced into being in a couple of scenes. We're sure this is far far far more than they bargained for when they said they'd 'help out'. Thanks, your support is appreciated more than we can show.
MIKE TATE
Has also provided financial support, organised the recording of our guide voice over track in Vancouver, Canada, provided his voice and has always been there to talk to on the phone. Mike is a professional voice talent that can do every accent under the sun. Need a voice? Get in touch with us and we'll hook you up directly with Mike.
WORCESTER COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY, SCHOOL OF ART AND DESIGN
The School of Art and Design has been extremley helpful by offering production help, their facilities for casting and providing a full make-up and wardrobe department for the film days. The leader for us there is Iain Burton-Legge who has provided support, direction and an abundance of clothes from the late '70s. A huge thanks from all of us Iain.
GREAT COVERDEN FARM
They have provided us with a great farmhouse location for filming several key scenes. Their farm land was also a key location for a few scenes early on in the shooting schedule. Debbie and Andrew Warren are always enthusiastic and willing to shelter a cold crew. They live in the idyllic village of Sandhurst in Gloucestershire and have beatuiful holiday rental cottages on their land. Check them out at:
WORCESTER CATHEDRAL
The Cathedral kindly allowed us to film inside it for a day. This is the first time that the Cathedral has allowed a feature film to be shot there. The building is over twelve hundred years old and one of the most beautiful and historically significant in the three counties. Special thanks to The Very Reverend Peter Atkinson, The Dean Of Worcester, who gave us the green-light. Thanks also has to go to everyone we encountered in the office in the lead up to filming and all the volunteers inside the Cathedral on the day, in particular Susan Macleod who was always smiling and made the location a reality for us.
COROLLIS
They have provided a great deal of support to our production. We thank Corollis for that and for their continuing interest in the project. Corollis has years of experience working with businesses in the area of 'learning transformation'.
FORUM WEB DESIGN
This Herefordshire based company offers easy to use web packages that allow you to build your own site without learning HTML. Matt Hinchliffe runs the company and is a lovely guy that will help you select the package right for you. To do his part to bring the local media community together he has very generously constructed and hosted our site free of charge, thanks Matt.
BURTON MENSWEAR, WORCESTER HIGH STREET BRANCH
They kindly donated the wardrobe for one of principle characters, William, played by AJ Nicol.
GRAHAM LOCKE
Graham kindly provided us with his thirty year old Mercedes for our flashback scene. We also roped him in to drive it (oh, and run to it as well) which he did expertly in a flat cap and long coat.
STAN FILLER
Stan kindly lent us the use of his office to film a scene with Craig and Lucy.
BEAR STUDIOS, VANCOUVER, CANADA
Ryan Marchant was the engineer at Bear who recorded the guide voice over with Mike. Taken out of context the voice over must have seemed quite random, but the production was just right.
PETER KELAMIS
Peter is an incredibly talented comic and actor who's worked with the likes of Angelina Jolie, Robin Williams, David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Christopher Guest and Adam Sandler. He very kindly agreed to voice act in one of the radio sequences.
DAN REGAN
Dan's been our unit photographer and provided us with a lot of great production stills which are crucial to our marketing efforts. He's a skilled documentary photographer who's equally at home working in first world countries and war zones. If you need a photographer who'll capture the spirit of an event or situation get in touch with us and we'll link you with him.
WORCESTER STANDARD NEWSPAPER
The Standard has followed us and supported the film since we were first in touch with them during casting. Reporter Catherine Phillips has kindly run a number of stories on the film which has in turn led to us getting further press opportunities with the BBC and other papers. Catherine also agreed to play an on camera reporter, circa 1978, with a couple of lines in the film.

MALVERN HILLS DISTRICT COUNCIL
The MHDC kindly granted us permission to film on the high street and in a couple of other locations around the county. Particular thanks to Anthony Collis for giving us the green light.
WORCESTER CITY COUNCIL
The council gave us clearance to film at a couple of locations over looking the Severn which really helps solidify the story's location. Thanks for supporting local film initiatives.
STOOTZ MUSIC
Andy Stuteley is Stootz Music. He's writing our score and doing our sound design and final audio dub. A very talented guy who writes music for features, shorts, TV, ads, promos and everything in between. Need great music from a nice guy? Then check him out.
ADDITIVE
Philip Bedwell has come on board with his company Additive, a post production conglomerate based in Leeds, to do the colour correction and picture grade. Although the average viewer might not know what this means, it is an absolutely critical part of the creative side, and ultimately the success, of the film. Philip and Additive have a credit list as long as your arm and we're very excited about working with him.
