Will Winfield, Editor, has completed our brand new official trailer for Peekaboo. This has been uploaded to Vimeo and you can watch it here.

The full length film is now being submitted to film festivals around the world - watch this space for news on our premiere.

Peekaboo had it's first industry preview screening at The Showroom Cinema, Sheffield, yesterday, where large audienced gathered to watch the film. You could have heard a pin drop during the screening, and by the end there were very few dry eyes in the house.

After the screening Debbie Howard (Writer/Producer/Director) took part in a Q&A with Colin Pons, Producer with Studio of North and 104 Films. The response to the film was overwhelming, there was so much positive feedback it took a good hour and half to leave the building. 

Comments were made on the strong performances of the actors, subtlety of the script and delicate handling of the subject matter, stillbirth, the outstanding Sound Design and Score, the stunning cinematophraphy and much more. Debbie was absolutely delighted with the response to the film, it was better then she could have hoped for. She is now preparing for the London preview which is at The Electric Cinema on June 8th.

Peekaboo is now being submitted to film festivals world wide, and Big Buddha Films are hopeful that it will be as well received there.

Thanks to everyone that came along to the screening and helped us get the film made.

It's just two days away from our first ever audience for Peekaboo. This Saturday, 8th May, we will have our first private industry preview of Peekaboo at The Showroom Cinema, Sheffield. We're showing the film in screen 3, that seats around 178 people, and according to our guest list we're pretty much at full capacity - so it's pretty nerve wrecking!

It'll be great to finally see it with an audience on a big screen, here's hoping it's well received and my butterfiies can subside. Our stills photographer Jacqui Bellamy will be there on the day to document the event so I'll post some photo's soon.

220 Peekaboo DVD's are currently being duplicated and printed at Vision Mix in Sheffield. These will be ready to go out to our sponsors next week, as well as to film festivals we've submitted to. Blu Ray and NTSC duplications will be underway next week too then we're good to go!

I'm delighted to say that I came back from Directors Cut Films in London yesterday with a bag full of masters of Peekaboo. We have HD Cam SR tapes in PAL and NTSC, Blu Ray DVD'S and Digi Beta tapes in PAL and NTSC. We test screened in their screening room and they're looking great now. So we're good to go for our previews and ready to start submitting to festivals later this week.

Next up we need to get lots of copies of DVD and Blu Ray made at Vision Mix in Sheffield, ready to post out to our sponsors.

It's a wonderful feeling to have finally got Peekaboo finished, and once again, thank you to every single person that has helped us do this. Lets hope it's a great success!

Peekaboo is now as good as finished. We'll be picking up the master tapes and DVD's on Monday from Directors Cut Films in London, then we're good to go. The festival submissions will begin next week.

We're really looking forward to our two Industry Preview's which we'll be holding at The Showroom Cinema in Sheffield on the 12th May and the Electric Cinema in London on the 8th June. We've already got lots of confirmed guests. It'll be great to finally share our film with an audience for the first time. If you would like to attend either screening please get in touch with us and we'll try our best to fit you in.

As part of Debbie's lecturing work for Hallam University, teaching the Acting for Screen module, she put together and directed 14 short films that the students made over the last few weeks. With a crew of 3, Debbie directing, Paul Wiseman as DP and Emily Barry as Boom op, and the help of the students, we shot the films which have now been edited by Che Gorka. We will be screening all the films in The Void at Hallam University next week.

Well done to all the students that worked so hard on their films.

Our commissioned film Decide for Yourself (previous working title Did I?) a collaboration between Dead Earnest Theatre and Big Buddha is now complete. This was commissioned from Bradford University and looked at living with dementia.

We delighted to announce that The Girl with the World in Her Hair will screen at Showcommotion, the young people's film festival, at the Showroom Cinema in Sheffield. The festival are hoping to schedule a few screenings in the day time for school visits and it will also play before the main feature film in the evening on Friday 1st June. It will be great to be screened at a festival in the town where we made the film and we're really looking forward to the festival.

We are currently working on an exciting and powerful new short film.

Babygirl (Working Title), a 30 min short film which is currently in it's third draft. This will be submitted to the BFI shorts slate at the end of March, and if selected would be shot over the summer of 2012 for release at the end of the year or early 2013.

We want to keep our storyline under wraps at the moment, but can tell you it's a very dark drama with a shocking ending. The film is being written and directed by Debbie Howard, and will be produced by Colin Pons of Fear Factory and Studio of the North. Keep an eye on our website for further updates about this film.
