  • The First Six Minutes Of The Rover

    The First Six Minutes Of The Rover

    10 years following the collapse of society, a man will go to any length to take back the one thing that still matters to him.

    Check out the opening 6 minutes of The Rover. From award-winning director David Michôd (Animal Kingdom), The Rover stars Robert Pattinson (Cosmopolis), Guy Pearce (L.A. Confidential / Memento), Scoot McNairy (12 Years a Slave) and is in UK cinemas now.

    Set in the near future, the world of THE ROVER is one where mankind’s greed and excesses have pushed civilization to the breaking point.

    With society in decline, the rule of law has disintegrated and life is cheap. Hardened loner Eric (Guy Pearce) travels the desolate towns and roads of the scorched and dangerous Australian outback. When a brutal gang of thieves steals his car and only remaining possession, they leave behind the wounded Rey (Robert Pattinson) in their wake. Forcing Rey to help track the gang, Eric gives chase. Determined beyond reason, unrelenting in the pursuit of his prey, Eric will go to any lengths to take back the one thing that matters to him.

    In UK cinemas now.

  • Dreamchasers Are Now Scott & Sid

    Dreamchasers Are Now Scott & Sid

    We told you about Dreamchasers a while ago.

    A few changes since…  It’s now called Scott & Sid.

    ‘Scott & Sid’ is a full length feature film to be made in York and New York over the next year. With £1.5 million behind it, it features an A-List Hollywood actor (unnamed, as of yet). It aims to encourage people to get moving and chasing their dreams, with a strong moral to the story that if you believe in yourself, you can do anything.
    Scott Elliott
    Synopsis:
    “It follows the true story about hope, friendship and the courage to make your dreams a reality. From their first encounter as teenagers in a Yorkshire high school, Scott and Sid seem unlikely friends. Scott is a shambolic dreamer, intent on carving out his own path in life and holding up a metaphorical middle finger to anyone who tries to stop him. He is a quintessential troubled teen: on his fifth high school by the age of fifteen, alienated from his peers, crippled by recurring nightmares and disliked by his own foster parents.
    Sid, on the other hand, wants nothing more than to be liked. An unconfident, awkward recluse through circumstance, Sid’s impoverished and dysfunctional background leave him no time for friends and no money for hobbies. And then Scott arrives in town, and Sid’s whole world is turned upside down, as the pair embark on a journey of Dreamchasing, the personal code that they agree to live by.
    Sid, Amber (intern) and Scott
    Through persistence and trust, sharing secrets and testing their faith in each other, Scott and Sid become embroiled in an adventure that leads them through doubts, deprivation and demon-black days, from the desolate back alleys of their hometown to the billboards of Hollywood. Fighting against the limits of their own upbringings, outsmarting the local gangsters, always staying one step ahead and just the right side of the law and almost always smiling, their friendship is tested again and again, but they will stop at nothing to achieve their ultimate aim. They are Dreamchasers.”

  • Wetlands Trailer

    Wetlands Trailer

    Eighteen year-old Helen Memel (Carla Juri) likes to skateboard, masturbate with vegetables and thinks that body hygiene is greatly overrated. Struggling with her parents’ divorce, she spends her time experimenting and breaking one social taboo after the other with her best friend, Corinna (Marlen Kruse). When a shaving accident lands her in the hospital, she sees it as a way to reconcile her parents, but ends up forming an unlikely bond with her male nurse, Robin (Christoph Letkowski) in the process.
