Fragrant Films

Mr.Torquay's Holiday : "The jury said: “Mr. Torquay’s Holiday is a great concept, a short with ambitions to tell a feature length story and an excellent lead performance. How should an agoraphobic face the end of the world? A big ambitious question addressed in a well made short film."

Our Co-Production, Mr.Torquay's Holiday, with Trinder Films wins a special mention from the jury during the "BoB's", Film London's Best of the Borough's Film Awards last night. Stephen Wooley presented the very talented writer/director Aaron Trinder and Rhodri Meilir who played Mr.Torquay with their Award. Work prevented me from being there but I am very pleased and proud that I can still back a winner!

Development hell turning into development hope. Good trip to Berlin and we are off on the road again !

Thanks to all of you who came to see RUNT on Saturday. Your feedback has been brilliant!

Nearly finished 'the pilot'. Hope to have news of a screening in Cardiff soon.

RUNT - The Pilot being filmed w/b 18th April. Big thanks to all who took part.This adaptation of Niall Griffith's novel RUNT is an exploration of the effect of the foot and mouth crisis on farming communities during the 2002 crisis.Told through the eyes of BOY (played by Jams Powys) and DRUNKLE (Richard Harrington) we are using the pilot as a marketing strategy to raise interest in the feature.

A little bit of feedback I would be delighted to share with you from the clients who commissioned our last production.

"we would be delighted to work with you and your colleagues again. It's been a pleasure.
I think having you in the group from beginning to end made such a difference to the group and to the outcome of the video. so Thank you!"
