BEYOND THE RIVER


Our final University graduation film entitled Beyond the River had it's first screening at the Hat Factory, Luton followed a couple of days after with a screening at Luton's University with mixed responses. Some liked it, some not. Various aspects of the film seem to appeal and deter various audiences which surely can be taken as a good sign. There is an agreement however that the visuals are beautiful and the acting impressed all.

Not taking any time out we are currently working on a couple of new projects. More of them later!

FILMSTOCK 6!!!

With another great Filmstock behind me for this year, having spent 3 fantastic weeks meeting directors, actors, producers, editors... oh and doing a bit of projection I can safely say that Filmstock like a fine wine (not Merlot) continues to improve with age. The highlights for me were watching a man who travelled the world making balloonhats play a balloon bass guitar to a stunned basement full crowd. Both the opening film, David Gordon Green's Undertow and the awesome closing film, Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins were perfect bookends for an indie full line-up. Roll on Filmstock 7!
