Ghostbustin' in Manchester
Hey, Ray here...
... So Dean and I caught Ghostbusters at Manchester's Odeon Printworks last night.
Sadly, the print was a horrible mess of scratches, cuts, and a crappy-ass sound mix.
But who cares -- the film is an absolute gem!
It just goes to show how great a film it is when glitches like those listed above take nothing away from the story and characters. Here's to us writing a classic like this one day.
Now if only they'd screen Back To The Future and/or Jaws...

Greasy Spoon a go-go!
Aloha, Ray here...
... and it's with great pleasure that we announce another short film of ours -- Greasy Spoon -- has made the grade for this years Green Shoots 2009 funding scheme run by North West Vision + Media!
Yep, we got another commission!!
The script will be directed by Ed 'where's my Oscar?' Lilly and produced by Jolene 'money bags' Rathmill. Needless to say, we're in Schmeichel-esque safe hands with this sucker!
The script will be developed as part of the commission, so we can only hope it's an "enlightening" experience and not as painful as some horror stories we've heard about over the years (Mr. Rothman, I'm looking at you!). Joking aside, we have every confidence in the talented folks at NWVM and look forward to the whole process.
After Eight gets Encountered!
Bonjour, Ray here...
... Yep, another short film of ours -- After Eight -- has been officially selected for Bristol's Encounters Short Film Festival! How cool is that? Yet another string to our oboe (yes, I know it doesn't have...anyway).
Head on over there now and throw us a vote for the Online Audience Award!

Virgin Media Shorts 09: The Results
Howdy y'all, Ray here...
... So, as I'm sure you're all aware by now, our short film -- Three Little Words -- didn't win the big prize at the VMS09.
BOOOOOO!!!!!
Joking aside (and cliches ahoy!) it was a pleasure just to be nominated. Kudos to Luke Snellin and co for their winning short, Mix Tape. Props to the other nominees, too.
One last thing: Developing TLW with Ed Lilly (of Blind Aura Pictures) was a complete pleasure, and I'm sure we'll enter something next year. Bring it on!

Coming to a TV near you.
They're here...It will also be screened on regular broadcast TV on Virgin 1 on the 5th of September. It will play right after one of the most entertaining movies of the 80's. The fabulous John Milius directed, Kevin Reynolds scripted, evil commie killin' RED DAWN!
It will then be repeated on the 6th, and 12th of September. On both Virgin1 and Bravo. Again, can't tell you how cool this is for us. Less than a year ago we were yet to have a single thing produced. Nine months later and we get to see our work broadcast to pretty much every home in Britain. Exact listings can be found right here.
Did I mention we were in PLAYBOY?
In other news, we recently learned AFTER EIGHT is to play in competition at this years Encounters Film Festival in Bristol. Our first, real life, real world film festival. Very excited.
But it's not like we're now just sitting back and waiting for the fame and fortune to rain down upon us...(that would be one long ass wait!).
We've really been writing up a storm in the last month as well as... gulp... "networking". Sometimes (but not always) with real life human beingS! Directors mostly. All talented folks who want to work with us.
And you know.. Things are going great.
We have several scripts attached to directors from as far out as the USA to deepest, darkest London. Some handed in with funding applications to regional screen agencies and some being set up with private funding. All of them very different and at various stages of development. All of them fantastic fun to work on.
Also... did I mention that these crazy bastards let us on the premises recently?
Can't really say much about it at the moment... But all will be revealed.
