Always been a while, more updates coming soon hopefully it wont be spammy. Have a go at us if it is, and we’ll decide if we agree or not  =P

“The competition winner voted by the audience, KISS, is a gripping drama made on a budget of £200 that concerns the seedy underbelly familiar to anyone who has ventured around certain parts of Ancoats after dark.”

Hell yes!  It was a few weeks ago, so apologies for the lateness on here.  Read the full article HERE, and read about all the films shown at the Cornerhouse that night.

This is only a short one, got so much the chase, write, hassle, and hustle.  More updates to follow including Kabaret, Will Power, and a new project being directed by the always awesome Mat Johns.

TTFN!

‘Deuces are wild — not One Eyed Jacks…’
Strawberry Jack Grundy was a wild child that grew into a ferocious man. Once the War Horse of Paradise Heights, recent events have stacked the deck firmly against the One Eyed Jack of The Ace of Spades Nightclub. He is now a fading shadow of the man he once was.
But the rescue of a girl on the mean streets of Paradise Heights thrusts Jack into a situation he has never faced befor…e, untapped feelings stir, and a frozen heart begins to melt. But One Eyed Jacks aren’t always lucky; someone wants Jack dead by Christmas. They say Christmas is a time for Angels…a time for miracles.
Well Jack may have found his Angel. Now all he needs is a miracle…

HD overhaul, missing films, party time.

Howdy!

To quote Prof. Farnsworth, Good news everyone!  All our films are now available to be viewed in HD with the exception of one and we’re not telling you which =P  We have also finally updated the film gallery page by adding some films which were missing for silly HTML reasons, so feel free to view some you may not have seen before (and any others you have).

Tonight there is a send-off party for ZFF’s Mat and Phil, and joining them are Tilla and Will.  They are spending the next 5 weeks in a foreign land shooting a film.  Come down about 19:00 and say “ta-ra” to the lovely folks at Font Manchester, 7-9 New Wakefield Street, Manchester, M1 5NP.

News update tommorow too!
