One of our favourite fests 'London Short Film Festival' is now open for submissions for 2015.

6-8th June 2014 | The Lunar Festival, Umberslade Estate, Tanworth In Arden

Pleased to say that 'Wild Life' will screen in the cinema tent at this weekend's Lunar Festival.

It looks like a grand event and even features a set by our production designer's favourite band, British Sea Power. Maybe they'll see some of her home-made animals.

Thanks to Leamington Underground Cinema for selecting our short.

Telecommunicosmos

Our latest 5 minute short film 'Telecommunicosmos' is now available to watch online.

This short comedy dares to ask the question, 'is it safe to manipulate the universe to send invites to your Coq-au-Vin night, and what happens when a dark force intercepts and RSVPs?'

It has screened at a number of film festivals and short film nights including the 2013 London Short Film Festival and 2013 Hamburg International Short Film Festival.

Please watch and share!

Anyone want a cheaply produced but rather charming Whippoorwill Films badge? We bought a bag of them in 2011 and they did not move like hot cakes.
