EXCITING UPDATE!

Here are some of the bts pictures from the set of #crossedlinesfilm pre-vis!

We constructed sets of both a trench section and dugout, filled with the props from @khakidevil which have added essential realism.

We have wrapped and are now editing.

@Taff_Gillingham @khakidevil Thanks Taff! Great to meet you yesterday. Must have a proper chat, time permitting, when I bring it all back!

Today was spent obtaining props and costume for the pre-vis of #crossedlinesfilm
From signaller’s uniform to an original field telephone, all provided by the amazing @khakidevil team, whose assistance is as ever invaluable!

@khakidevil Thanks very much!
It may not quite be the shoot I originally envisaged when I started out, but at least I know the kit and clobber is accurate for what I can film! 😁👍

Early morning filming to catch the first rays of the day.

This year has seen many challenges. Like in other walks of life, growing restrictions changed the way we’ve been able to work, but we’ve just made it through.

Wishing you all a #happynewyear and hope next year will see us able to continue filmmaking, and a better year for all!

Our new psychological drama: #delayedconnection is now live!

Alongside the final major project; we still have other exciting plans on the go.

This screenplay is for a 5-7 minute short which has to be filmed in lockdown conditions but creatively!
Sounds like a challenge!
