REAL Documentary Festival

REAL Documentary Festival Leicester U.K champions the work of independent filmmakers and production companies: a place to be inspired, challenged & entertained.

[Matt Holt | Filmmaker @MattHolt76]

Very pleased to announce we have a special London screening of our #LaurelandHardy film The Last Dance of the Cuckoos at @MyICCLondon in Hammersmith Sunday 26th May. Here’s the trailer, please share & we’ll see you there! #Filmmaker @andyholl

[SCALA!!! The Movie @scalacinema]

For SCALA!!! we were incredibly lucky to have as producers @ChXtv (Detectorists, Worzel Gummidge) and @anti_worlds, aka Andy Starke (who has produced Peter Strickland & Ben Wheatley), who regularly led us out of the forest when we were lost & sprinkled magic dust over our debut.

A short I made for the @RDF2023 screening of @AmateursBunch of my friend and mentor Syd Pearman, probably the oldest pro filmmaker #Leicester had. It was such a joy to see him on the big screen @PhoenixLeic Thanks to @hopkins_kim for the inspiration.
