Dinard Film Festival

We've just returned from the festival and it was a wonderful experience. Dinard is a beautiful town in Northern France and puts on a British Film festival every year. We had two screenings and had a great reaction to the film. We also had the chance to meet the other filmmakers which was invaluable. I wish we could go every year...



We saw Mugabe And The White African at the festival and it's a great documentary and comes highly recommended. It gives a truthful account of the war raging between Mugabe and the White African farmers in Zimbabwe. The film is an independent production like ours and they need all the support they can get.

Notting Hill Gate Screening

We had our second SOLD OUT screening in London today at the Notting Hill Gate Picturehouse. The film screened in front of 185 people followed by a post-screening Q&A with Barbara Hulanicki and Louis Price (pictured above - director of Beyond Biba). It was our favorite screening so far.

A big thank you to Mike Matthews who organized the event. Once the Q&A finished pandemonium broke out when we started selling our film posters signed by Barbara. We ended up selling over 60 which was amazing! We're looking forward to screening with more Picturehouse cinemas in Greenwich, Clapham and Edinburgh next month.
