Hush Hush....

Shhhh, we've got a secret to tell you....

On 31st January Burnt Trees will be screened at the first Hush Hush film night at the Base Leeds.

The Base is a creative studio run by Champion Up North; an independent agency with a core in music and visual arts supporting the professional development of musicians and artists in Leeds.

The January event is the first of the monthly Hush Hush screenings and is already sold out! The event will run as a monthly screening promoting the work of underground visual artists and independent filmmakers from Leeds, and we are delighted to be part of the first event!

In addition, Joy will be screened at the second event on Thursday 28th February!

Spreading the Joy

We've been a little quiet recently whilst we've been model making for our upcoming animation 'Window', but our existing films have still been finding their way around Yorkshire...

Back in August both 'Joy' and 'Burnt Trees' were selected for the Chapel Allerton Film Festival at Seven Arts in Leeds, screened on bank holiday Monday. http://www.chapelallerton.org.uk/

This week 'Joy' was screened for the second time at the award winning MiniCine - congratulations to the guys for their well deserved Best Programming award at the British Federation of Film Societies’ film Society of the year awards! http://miniminicine.com/

And just today (29th Sept) 'Joy' and 'A Cinema Near Ewe' were screened as part of Point Blank Theatre Company's 'Lock-In' Festival in association with Sheffield's Festival of the Mind, this screening of local shorts was programmed by our very own Elizabeth Holly Hurt. http://www.pointblank.org.uk/

We'll be back soon with details of our upcoming animation...

Animation Showcase

Saffer & Co film and video production company based in Leeds are releasing their new short film, A Mind's Wood, at a premiere event on Tuesday 22nd May 2012 at the Library Pub in Hyde Park.

As the film is a combination of live action and animation they have also invited us to showcase our work during the networking phase of the evening! Joy, Burnt Trees and A Cinema Near Ewe will be shown on a loop as people arrive and mingle.

The event isn't open to the public but will be a great platform for us to show our work and we would like to thank Saffer & Co for this opportunity.
