100 THOUSAND VIEWS

I’m so proud of everything Only You is. It’s the art of story, the importance of the message, and the people behind it who made it happen.

Our little no-budget project is holding its own against content made by huge companies spending millions. They sell products, but forget to spread something positive.

I directed and produced this film alongside a small team of amazing indie filmmakers. They worked for free, gave everything, and believed in what we were making. I’m so proud of them all! Im thankful for their trust in me, for believing in the craft, and for proving what we can do together.

100k views might be a quiet day for the likes of Mr Beast, but for a small reight good northern production company, it’s a massive win. It’s the start of bigger things!

Spread the message - Spread love this Christmas.

Thank you for all the support
William Stogden

Only You is a heartfelt short film about a dog’s journey to rekindle the spirit of Christmas after the loss of his owner.

We’re currently looking for a passionate and committed individual to join our project as the female lead.

You don’t need loads of experience, just a genuine energy and willingness to be part of something special.

(This is a small, relaxed, no-budget production)

If that interests you, we’d love to hear from you!!!!

For more information, feel free to reach out via email or through our social media channels.

Spent a great afternoon with the brilliant Songs of Andy Tagger today, grabbing the final few shots for our Ponte Carlo music video!

We first got the ball rolling back in February, and it’s been amazing to see how far it’s come. We’re nearly ready to share with you all!

This one’s especially close to my heart. It’s been a joy working on something that really celebrates my hometown of Pontefract and brings a well-deserved spotlight to the area.

Can’t wait for you to see it -
