Filming at Spurn Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve was challenging, but it was also a lot of fun. A great cast & crew, working in difficult conditions (day & night) but always with a professional and positive approach. It was a pleasure and a privilege working with you all. Stay tuned for more behind the scenes shots and insights into how the edit is going (it's going great!)

Paula looking very Hollywood on the set of Sea Glass.
We had a full-on couple of days at Spurn Point.
Featured here are 4 of our principal actors Jenny Smith, Lloyd Lovell, Emily-Jane Sheppard and Will Oakley.
We still have a little more to film in the 'Conspiracy Room' and we've already begun the edit...

I'm grateful to be surrounded by a team of experienced individuals who have been supportive throughout the process. I'm always eager to learn more about the film industry and expand my horizons."
Checking out the size of the Green Screen that we'll be using on location for the 'Sea Glass' shoot. Any suggestions for a better, portable green screen system that can shoot full length and preferably some floor would be welcome. Also looking for suggestions of best (economic) lighting systems for green screen...(again, portable would be best). Cheers, Adam
