Very pleased to announce we have a special London screening of our #LaurelandHardy film The Last Dance of the Cuckoos at The Irish Cultural Centre in Hammersmith Sunday 26th May. Here’s the trailer, please share & we’ll see you there! #Filmmaker andy hollingworth

For SCALA!!! we were incredibly lucky to have as producers Channel X (Detectorists, Worzel Gummidge) and ANTI-WORLDS, aka Andy Starke (who has produced Peter Strickland & Ben Wheatley), who regularly led us out of the forest when we were lost & sprinkled magic dust over our debut.

A short I made for the REAL Documentary Festival screening of A Bunch of Amateurs (Film) of my friend and mentor Syd Pearman, probably the oldest pro filmmaker #Leicester had. It was such a joy to see him on the big screen Phoenix Leicester Thanks to kim hopkins for the inspiration.

“We take the risk as film-makers to make the films we make. There’s no infrastructure which supports that. There’s very few places to go … We’re like water: we find a way.” ✊🏽 theguardian.com/film/2023/apr/…
