Milton had a dream. Now he has a cafe. In a washed-up, rundown seaside town, surrounded by his father's collection of silent movie memorabilia and a mountain of debt. Until Jenna arrives with a second-hand camera and a crazy idea.

As we take a break a from filming over the summer, its great to look back over some highlights of the fantastic filming days we've had so far 😎

We're currently deep into production on Oggy Christmas, and like any film project, it's easy to get caught up in all the practicalities of making it as good as it can possibly be.

But every now and then, it's important to remind ourselves what sits at the heart of everything we do.

People.

Community.

Opportunity.

That's why we're so excited to be restarting our Thursday night group very soon—a place where people can learn new skills, meet others, have a laugh, and feel part of something bigger.

Because while we're proud of the films we make, we're equally proud of the community we're building together.

A place to learn, laugh and belong.

A little bit of behind-the-scenes footage from our most recent days of filming.

A huge thanks to the very kind folks who opened their homes to us to turn into the interiors of 'The Kings' family home.

They were very hot days and in smaller spaces we operated with something of a skeleton crew so as not to have too many people in small spaces - especially as the actors were dressed for winter!

(Whose idea was it to film Christmas in June? 😂)

One of the strange things about filmmaking is that you end up having to do everything out-of-order.

And so, a few weeks ago we found ourselves filming the final scene of the movie - almost exactly half through the actual shooting process

If was a fantastic if somewhat hectic day. Our Director of Photography, Matt, has captured some incredible footage, and we want to give a huge shoutout to all our cast, crew, choir, extras and dogs (yes, dogs) who’ve been a part of the process so far.

The video captures just a little bit of the scale of the day. Phase 3 starts tomorrow!
