Guy has teamed up with dramatist Simon Reade of Poonamallee Productions to co-produce a feature film version of Michael Morpurgo’s seminal WW1 novel Private Peaceful. The film will be shot on location in Devon in late summer 2010.

 

Feb 2010

Guy teamed up with director and cinematographer Terry Flaxton to produce writer James Callow’s entry into iFeatures - a new low budget scheme run in Bristol by Chris Moll. The script, Nickel Delirium, was a fascinating drug-fuelled romp through the underbelly of 19th century Bristol’s nascent film world. We made it to the last 25 from 550 entries, but sadly we fell at the interview process.

Guy Paterson and Guy have almost completed the edit on slam poetry doc Looking for the Lone Star - as a virtually no-budget doc it has been a long and difficult haul. The film follows the road trip through America’s Deep South by two brilliant Bristol-based performance poets, Pete Hunter and David Johnson. It features the music of remarkable one man band Lewis Floyd Henry and some great poetry. Once completed we will take it on the festival circuit.
