Last year we shot a little two minute film called The Big Idea, about a mini movie mogul attempting to pitch his film to a hollywood megastar, who is oblivious to the greater drama occurring all around him.
Such was the fantastic response that we're now shooting a sequel - The Big Gun and we intend to make it even bigger, even more ambitious and even funnier than the last...
..so, what's it about? Well this time our hero is Colonel burke, a war hero from of top military pedigree thrust into the midst of battle to save the day. Or is he?...
We're currently seeking crew and cast and intend to shoot for one day on Sunday May 23rd in Pinewood studios, Bucks.
In particular we would like army enthusiasts and re-enactors who wish to be featured in the film and who can bring the necessary props and uniform.
If you want to be part of an exciting day and ultimately see yourself on the big screen, then please get in touch by emailing

Love you, Joseff Hughes. On a remote Welsh island, an innocent game of catch leads Anna & Joseff into an ancient cemetery. Venturing deeper into the island, their games evolve into an exploration of life, love and loss.

This is a 5 minute long making of shot by my friend Max Day. You can find out more about Max at his website Red Film. See the links page if you'd like to visit there.
The children in the film are Sioned Eleri Jones and Steffan Donnelly. Two very charming Welsh children who came to our open audition at Menai Bridge near Anglesey and who we recognized instantly had bags of talent and encapsulated exactly the sense of innocence that we thought fitting for the film.
The writer is Catrin Cooper, who has worked on many high profile films including Bond and Harry Potter so you'll no doubt see more of her
And the Producer is my partner Sandra Gorel, a BBC producer who has been involved in the interactive side of TV for ages and in the process has bagged herself a couple of BAFTA's. As you do...
Conceived, Shot, Edited and Screened within 24 hours. That was the remit of the Cannes 24 hour film challenge 2005 which we very proudly won with this film 'Serial Filmmakers'
I should mention at this stage that the title wasn't ours - the genre and the title of the film were selected from a hat - not a winning title but a winning film!
Not the easiest task when you've flown from the UK with 7 bags and not a scrap of french to deal with the festival police. Bloody good fun to shoot though.
