A massive thank you to all our New Years party extras!

Back at the railway station this evening. Eating chicken and recording more dialogue. Guerilla filmmaking at it’s finest!

Shot a quick scene at the railway station tonight. Had to time it so we didn’t get interrupted by any trains.

A fairly straightforward scene today despite the cramped location and an impromptu zombie apocalypse.

Today’s scene took place on the edge of a cliff. Not the easiest place to shoot a film and a nightmare for recording dialogue. As well as having to contend with high speed winds our sound recordist was almost swept into the sea on several occasions!

It’s been a busy week. Filming has finally begun and there’s no going back now.

We decided to hit the ground running and start the production with our most technically demanding scene, an ambitious setup involving a barbecue and some very powerful lights.

Things really came together and it all went smoothly. The costumes look brilliant and the actors really pulled it out of the bag despite some last minute script changes. Hopefully the next scene will be even easier.

Hello. Welcome to the production diary. This is where I’ll be posting all the latest news about Keep Calm.

We’ve had a busy month meeting with actors and searching for locations but everything is beginning to fall into place now.

Yesterday marked the beginning of rehearsals and we had our first full read through of the script. It was a really productive meeting and the ideas were flowing. Accents were tried, plot holes were fixed and there was even a bit of improvisation. It’s all going brilliantly and we’re on track to begin principal photography in the next few weeks.

Lots more information on the way…

Stay tuned!

We’ve got a fantastic cast lined up so far we’re still searching for actors to play some of the smaller roles. If you live in the Falmouth area and would like to get involved then make sure to get in touch.

Abandoned, stranded and cut off from the outside world, a compulsive tea drinker and her narcissistic counterpart find solace in half remembered conversations and old routines. But as the world grows colder, memories begin to fade and they quickly find themselves trapped in a labyrinth of their own making.
