We were honoured by Caorle Film Festival 2018 when Marriage won 4 awards including Best Feature Film, Best Supporting Actress, Best VFX and Best Sound Editing. Caorle is often called Little Venice and is situated close to Venice on the mainland. It's a beautiful town with beautiful people and the festival was a wonderful event for all the film makers involved.
Since our last update we've been traveling the world supported Marriage at film festivals. From Thessaloniki to Jaipur, India to LA. The latest list of awards are:10th Jaipur Internation Film FestivalWon Japiur Critics Award, Best European Film, Best Original Screenplay, Best Sound Design and Editing and Best Actress. We were honored to be at the festival and can easily say that it was a wonderful experience with film lovers who truly believe in the power of film for social change.Mindfield Film...
One of the truly rare joys of being an indie is that when you view your cut and decide that you could do with one more scene or reaction shot there, you simply pick up the phone, pick up the right lights, get your kit out and dress your living room appropriately.This is what’s been happening the last few weekends – a routine we always knew would happen even before our main shoot. It’s an ongoing job sculpting your film until you think it’s ready. We are 96% there, all we need is to shoot ...

We've collected a few vfx breakdowns from Marriage and put them all on this page. Hopefully we'll add more as well.Our first is a virtual Brussels shown outside the window with Miranda sitting in front. This was a late shot in the production and we shot the plates for this in our living room against some greenscreen (which wasn't quite big enough). We used a piece of glass in front to help with reflections. The source background was a still photo. The wind, rain and fog were stock elements but t...

A year has passed since we last updated and in that year the world has seen the escalating drama of the refugees right on their doorstep. The biggest displacement of human wave since WWII.When we set out to make the film, we knew we were making a reflection of the last 7 years and we tried to incorporate (in an allegorical way) what is going on in Europe and how Europe reacts to the major (and even minor) events that occur. We shot scenes that would enlarge the story and we managed with a lot of...
Marriage was split over a few years but the bulk of the shoot was done in a 6 week block one winter in 2012. This is a documentary that was produced with behind the scenes and interviews. After this was shot work started on visual effects, editing and during that phase a number of other scenes were added away from the location here. This was always part of the plan - one of the main reasons we didn't hire cameras at the time but bought in what we needed. Notice at the time this was the shot...
