Gin & Dry at Austin Film Festival
Gin & Dry was officially selected for the Austin Film Festival, so we headed over to the States to get in on the action!
An ode to our first short Hawk
Gin & Dry screened twice on the 21st and again on the 24th to packed audiences (sitting in the aisles packed!), after which the film's writer/director Oscar Plewes gave a Q&A, after the screenings we headed to Austin's infamous Sixth St to celebrate the film's brilliant reception. Not only was our short in the festival, but our friends over at LA based 28 Entertainment were in town too with their film Deep in the Heart - and a London / LA link up means another reason to celebrate.
Over our ten days we experienced all Austin had to offer, and it didn't disappoint. From the cities nightlife, it's pretty awesome street food a good dose of Southern hospitality and an impromptu bar consisting of a pick up, a cooler and a hay bale, we'll definitely be heading back. The festival itself was a great event, an excellent selection of films from around the world, inspiring talks by the likes of writer Michael Arndt, drawing in audiences who just love film. Gin & Dry received an amazing response and we met some wonderful people...we couldn't be happier!
Check out some pics from our time in Austin below:

Hawk Production Diaries
Our fantasy epic short Hawk, directed by M J McMahon, was quite the feat to complete, but an invaluable experience that resulted in a short film we're really proud of! Shot in the stunning Welsh region of Snowdonia, Hawk, steeped in Welsh mythology, tells the story of Rowan who discovers a shadowy world beneath his own where the divide between man and beast blurs and the fairy tales of his childhood spring to life.
While making the film we kept a production diary chronicling our journey, starting from the beginning of the shoot, travelling up to North Wales from London, to the film's World Premiere at BAFTA. In between the diaries show behind the scenes of the shoot, recording with the Serendipity choir and in Bratislava with the symphony orchestra for motion picture score, the designing of the film's poster and the post production process. You can check out all 40 (!) of these diaries on the official Hawk website by following this link: Hawk Production Diaries.
