We had an eventful trip to London last week, but aside from the drama it was great fun! We managed to network and look into funding for @4horsesfilm at @cinecircleuk Film and TV Job Fair, and Jay got the opportunity to look at new equipment. We might have been told we can't have the £1m R&D camera, but it was interesting looking into new sound and lighting!
Anyway, whilst we're unpacking London (literally and figuratively) - go ahead and follow @4horsesfilm. They're on Instagram, Threads and Tik Tok!
We've got lots of edits to finish, meetings, and some bookings already for 2025! Email [email protected] for bookings and enquiries and we'll see what we can do to fit you in!
If you had a serious work conversation with Jay recently but thought he seemed a bit distracted, it may have been you on this call!
Our "let's have a business meeting outside on this lovely day!" was improved by a potential new Inkblot candidate, looking to move away from the dairy industry and into film.
Should we hire Mooooo-nica?

On Saturday June 1st the long awaited "In The Footsteps of Hank Haydock" will premier at @helmsleyarts. Tickets for the event can be bought from Helmsley Arts Centre website, or by clicking the link in our bio.
The showing proudly brings you the short film recalling the experiences of Dennis "Hank" Haydock during WWII. Hank Haydock sadly passed away in 2016 aged 93 years, before the project was finished.
Jay filmed actor George Stagnall during lockdown, who powerfully portrays Hank in this verbatim script taken from interviews with him, and excerpts from his personal diaries.
The film was produced in collaboration with Nella Fox of Everwitch Theatre, and commissioned by @helmsleyarts and @duncombe.park.

We've only gone and done a thing! Big thanks to Cine Circle for allowing us the opportunity to pitch our script on stage at the legendary Comedy Store in London!
After a successful online pitch on Friday we placed in the top 3, which meant a trip down the A1 for Jay, Dan and Gemma to do it all over again in person!
We've been so excited and genuinely blown away by the support, love, and enthusiasm weve felt over the last 48 hours.
Thanks to everyone that made today as mindblowing as it was. We're still processing it but we can't wait to introduce you to this project!
Love from The Four Horses (Jay, Dan, Gemma, Dom)
We welcome the Ghost of Christmas Past to throw back to this classic festive rant from 2021 - unable to contain the loathing for 2003 release 'Love, Actually', Jay rips into...well everything, actually!
Find the full clip on our YouTube at InkblotFilmsUK, and subscribe/comment whilst we write an apology to Richard Curtis and most of Hollywood 😬

We've talked recently of our animation work and now we can finally SHOW you it! Here's a small clip from our animation reel.
It features work from Amazon, Drawsome with Mim Robson Artist, Activist Stuart Semple, Wrestlesphere, and the very festive Big Brave Bill for the exceptional Kate Rusby, plus even more.
It's mere hours away from December, so we concede that is it now appropriate to send Seasons Greetings and feature snowmen!
Subscribe to www.youtube.com/inkblotfilmsuk for the full reel!
Our channel also shows the incredible 3D animation talents of Phil Sweeney. He's so divinely gifted that he gets his own reel!
For bookings and enquiries please email [email protected]

Spirits where high at Spring Bank Tavern as we did some ghostbusting in this 300 year old pub in Hull, capturing some creepy and interesting results! Did we find out who was watching us? We think we did!
Taking our love of Halloween too far, pub owner Karne invited us to film on site throughout the long, dark night! Check link below or see our linktr.ee in bio to be transported through seven levels of hell.

Ink-vestigators Jay and Gemma were joined by Kiran, Ben, Will, Karne, George, and Local Historian/Paranormal Expert Mike Covell of Amazing Hull Tours .
Find out which of us dared to venture into the cellar, which of the ghostly occupants identified themselves to us, and how cat balls can be used to communicate with the dead!
Special thanks to Silk Spinster for allowing us to feature your music!

We have designated days and weeks, and even months, to wellbeing and health, and we support all of these. But consider daily WWDD (what would Derek do?).
We may not get further opportunity to promote the incredible determination, resilience and will of Mr Motivator from our recent filming with him, but we needed to share this one. On a grey and rainy day, after a bunch of stress and a hospital admission, we are forced to look at ourselves and our work ethic differently. Mindset is everything.
Have a wonderful weekend, and remember. "Work hard, be considerate and kind, and amazing things will happen".

MURDER MIKE WROTE! Find out from Hull author and historian @amazinghulltours if books 101- 105 really will be about puppies.
Clue: since recording finished we found out they're not! 🤣
Mike is so full of knowledge and life story we have had to split his Reel People interview into 2 parts! From Ripperology to writing 100 books (and counting!), Mike discusses how he copes with the difficult topics he writes about and who supports him when it gets heavy.
