Alpha Bristol Films
Gemma and Rollo make films. Join us. Watch our films: www.alphabristol.com We founded Alpha Bristol Films in 2010 as an umbrella for the films we make together.
It all started when Gemma offered to lend a hand getting some of Rollo's scripts off the ground, and before we knew it, we were registering with the companies office and whipping up a website. We're currently making short films and have two feature films in development. We are lucky to work with talented, generous people within the local film industry, and enjoy making new connections on each project.
