This has been an exceptional start to the year for Deadbeat Films, with some really creative, fun projects in development and our first feature super close to being taken out of the oven. But what's really awesome, is that our team is growing by the day!
We are honoured to have Jacob Elder join the family, already a long term freelance collaborator of ours, Jake's skill is unparalleled, and he's just a super top notch guy!
Welcome to Deadbeat Jake!
TALOULA - QUICK FIX LOVE
A beautifully choreographed ‘oner’ for Taloula’s ‘Quick Fix Love’ music video.
Directed by Jack Thompson-Roylance and shot on 16mm film, it was just the second take of the day that was eventually chosen to be used.
That’s movement directors, steadicam ops, dancers and performers working in harmony. Check it out here!!
MEET THE VX4
One of our most epic shoots to date!
We’ve been working with Vertical Aerospace for a while now but this is a huge moment for them.
In this film you can have a glimpse at the future of air travel. Fully electric with zero operational emissions and as you can see an ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL aircraft!
We had an amazing team on this one, with director Boris Thompson-Roylance at the helm and the incredible David Wright as DOP.
Producer: Anthony Toma
Creatives: Brook Driver, Jack Thompson-Roylance
This is how you do film screenings! 🎥🔥
With impromptu Kung-fu fights and a surprise performance from the band Yoshi, our immersive short film night with industry disruptors Minute Shorts was so much fun!
The headline film was Boris's latest video nasty, with four other deranged short films on the bill.
We love creating worlds like this and we look forward to more experimental film screening events in the future!
YOSHI is now out on the Minute Shorts app. Download the app, and get watching!!👁
