'Last Post'

Ray's short film 'Last Post' which was shot last May, was shown at the 'Keswick Film Festival' this February,  a Mr John Hurt was present.

This film as well as some of the other Co-op members films are on the Film Makers Co-op site on You tube.

The POW

'The POW'  a film written and directed by Co-op member John Hamlett was shown at the X1V international detective film festival in Moscow. John flew over there himself to experience the event and came home with the 'Viewers choice' award. The film has also been shown at several festivals over here, picking up 'Best narrative short' at the Pennine Film Festival.
This is a brilliant achievement for John and a very proud moment for the Co-op.

Queen's legs

On Friday 21st September, the TV pilot hopeful 'The Queen's legs' had it's premier at The Storey in Lancaster.
Most of the cast and crew were there but unfortunately a filming clash meant some couldn't make it.
The pilot was written and produced by Cecilly Holland a long time member of the co-op.
We wish Cec good luck in getting this on the telly.

Exquisite corpse

The Exquisite corpse group is now down to 6 people and 6 scripts. After what seems like an eternity, filming has finally begun.
Most of the locations have been found but the biggest problem seems to be acquiring actors/actresses. More links need to be made with actor groups for future projects.

Mime shoot

Finally the shoot for 'Gert's Bucket' went ahead on Feb 5th.
Apart from an early disaster with an actor pulling out and a member of the crew gallantly stepping in at the last minute, everything went ok.
The ground was covered in snow and yes, it was cold. Everyone mucked in brilliantly to get the job done and we all enjoyed the catering put on by Jan again.

The trailer for the series is almost ready to go, with the first episode following a few weeks later.
There is a possibility of a delay though, so no promises.

Mime

The Mime shoot on the 15th Jan has been cancelled, the best we can do is February at the moment.

Mime

The Gert's bucket mime shoot is scheduled for Sunday 15th January.
All positions have been filled so weather permitting, we're good to go.
