We have a number of projects in development which we will be announcing soon. The first is Painting Rocks, which is a timely tale about courage, humanity and individual strength of character. Based on the real experiences of Charlie Grave, who found himself in the middle of one of the worst humanitarian catastrophes the world has ever seen, this is a moving and uplifting story. More news soon!
Painting Rocks
Painting Rocks is a 120min coming-of-age adventure drama in funded development with the production company Headrush Films. It follows an 18-year-old British boy on his gap year in 1980s Sudan, and his 16-year-old Sudanese friend, who are tasked with setting up a transit camp for Ethiopian refugees fleeing across the border when the famine breaks out. Based on a true story, it’s a powerful look at privilege in the context of humanitarian crises, that blends the vast desert landscapes of Sirât, the emotion of Lion and the youthful tenderness of Close.
Headrush Films are best known for the award-winning short film Contact Hours. They are currently in post-production on their debut feature film, Yamas!. More information here.
At Home with Henry
Henry Blofeld invites you into his Norfolk cottage for a very special and intimate encounter in At Home With Henry.
This presentation seats you in the armchair opposite Blowers as he regales you with priceless anecdotes from his larger-than-life life, lifting the lid on the foibles of fellow commentators and sharing some hysterical moments in the box and on tour with England.
Johnners, Arlo, Fred and other huge and hilarious personalities are brought vividly to life. There’s lunch with Ian Fleming at his Jamaican residence, Goldeneye; discovering his connection with the writer’s villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld and being serenaded by Noel Coward; the unfortunate conjunction of his bicycle with a bus; scoring two centuries at Lord’s; taking the wrong blonde to Monte Carlo and being around an hour away of being called up to play for England’s stricken test team in India.
These are all wonderful vignettes from Henry’s rich and varied life and there are many, many more. Henry’s great gift is to engage the cricket connoisseur and those who know nothing about the game alike with his enchanting personality, warmth and humour.
So, when as gets colder outside this winter, close the door, batten down the hatches and gather round the screen. Blowers will warm the cockles of your heart with At Home With Henry.
At Home With Henry, it’s the perfect present for the cricket lover in your life – and ideal entertainment for the whole family.
Note: this is a video-on-demand production so can be purchased and watched where and when you like!
