The second CINE film screening and networking event organised by Cottage Industry Films for D+CFilm was another huge success.
Yet again, the Black Box at the Exeter Phoenix Digtial Media Centre was stuffed fulla film fans – either showing their work or checking out some of the finest flicks from around the region.
As well as getting a rare chance to see the movies on the big screen, there were informal Q&As with the filmmakers as well as the chance for people to swap business cards, share a pint, and generally have a natter about their adventures in the screen trade.
Of course, the event was also a fundraiser for your friendly neighbourhood D+CFilm, with any dough raised going towards supporting and promoting filmmakers in the region. Natch.
Yesterday’s event boasted The Bookshop, written by Tim Frank and directed by Paul Lumsden; BURN, directed by Patrick Kiely with visual effects by Cornwall’s Justin Heasman from Sketchwork Productions; Zomblies directed by David Reynolds, pictured below, from Realm Pictures; How The Panda Got Its Black Eyes by Reuben Gaines; Bonejangles by Sam Cook, pictured middle; Robbing Peter by Clayton Fussell and Ashley Wing, pictured top, from Cottage industry Films; and Lady Caine by Elliot G Montello.
We also ran into Like An Angel director John Tomkins who pitched at last month’s CINE event looking for writers for his forthcoming thriller They’re Coming. He was clutching two new scripts – all thanks, he said, to D+CFilm and CINE.
Don’t miss out – get along to the next event at the end of August. Stay tuned to D+CFilm to find out the date and the full line-up. Alternatively, you can check out the CINE site.
(If you have a film you would like to screen at CINE, email cine@cottageindustryfilms.co.uk with a brief synopsis (up to 50 words) of the film/project, along with any other relevant information, including a still from the film – films can be of any genre, but no longer than 15 minutes.)
